An affiliate marketing program is a marketing tool effective on the Internet whereby advertisers get help from other organisations to spread the word about their company and herein to make more business through the sale of products. Individuals can carry out their advertising in the form of text and e-mail links, banner advertising and reviews written and displayed about a particular company. The organisation providing this aid to individuals are known as the affiliate and are compensated for their services rendered through commision paid by individuals involved for every referral or sale they get as a result of this advertising.

Affiliates come in two major forms namely, the individual agency or network advertising agency. The more popular agency type is that of the larger network advertising agency who deals with hundreds of thousands of advertisers everyday and will choose from these the advertisers with whom they will eventually conduct business. Individual advertising agencies can be difficult to get hold of but it is possible in the end for them to offer better quality services than the bigger agencies because they are able to offer advertisers outstanding support with lower financial commitment. An individual agency can often build a steadier flow of income than network agencies who have advertisers flocking to them on a daily basis.

A similar service to that of affiliate marketing offered by Intoweb is link exchange. This is an activity peformed to place links to our websites on similar websites with whom we then link in return.

To elaborate on the service offered by the affiliate whereby they write and publish a review about a particular company as an online business solution, a similar activity based on the same review principle is the creation of press releases.

A number of steps need to be taken by a company before they can enjoy the benefits of link exchange or in fact even link to another site. What needs to be taken into consideration is firstly the tone of your request to those with whom you would like to link. Spelling and grammar is essential as the way you present yourself in your e-mail request will be an indication of the quality of your site. Before a request is even sent out, a website needs to be fully completed as no link exchange will take place with a half-finished website. One should always take time to visit a possible website to link to as content familiarity is important to identify whether the two websites are similar in theme. Many companies are hesitant when it comes to link exchange and the best way to encourage them to link to your site is by placing a link on your website first.
