Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I have very limited practical knowledge of how to ask people to publish ads on our website.
We have affiliate ads. And we have published our ad on other sites.
But we do not know how to approach a potential client. What’s the process?
Who provides the ad? The client for us?
Any advice could be very useful, even what points to include in an email.
Thanks in advance.

I am thinking of going into the business of affiliate marketing but in a different way. Usually, publishers make there own blog website and add affiliate banners to make extra money. What if I make a website of all the online shops and post there affiliate banners in there? This website will look like an online mall with all the banners. Anything wrong on this idea? or is totally just fine, legalwise?

Hey guys so you all know about banners, a company makes them and gets affiliates to place them on their sites then when someone from that site clicks on that banner and goes to the companies site any subsequent sale is credited to the advertisers site and he is given a commission.
My question is, is there any way to do this with Facebook?
For example if I simply put a link on my fan page to someone site and then a Facebook fan of mine clicks it and makes a purchase, will it be able to get traced back to me?
Not sure if Im asking this right but you should get the idea. I have offers to advertise on my fan page and will get a commission of any subsequent sales.
Could this work?
How do companies usually track this kind of thing?
Thanks for the help guys 🙂

From an advertiser /affiliate or publisher stand point..What is the best places with the most ‘best bang for the buck ‘ to submit your banners to for either CPC or CPM traffic?..Listed in the order of; the one with the most options for the expense?, to the one with the most potential/traffic for being a free submission?. Obliviously now, this question is directed at the everyday ‘non-business owner’ who isn’t looking at a website to promote his huge corporation to the homepage of a major website(such as Yahoo,etc) that is going to ask said owner for anyway near 2k to 15k or more a month to advertise on their site?. No,This is not that ballpark at all, or what this is about, this is about the regular everyday on-line advertiser looking for results for a website that will bring in well targeted/good niche traffic, based on this what are people’s personal experiences around this topic, or what do people personally recommend?
