When you are approved as an Affiliate by the merchant, you receive a “banner” (or text) with a special link from them which has appealing images of cute stuffed lizards. As an affiliate, you insert these banners on your web site or your newsletter ! 

Customers who visit your web site click on the banner and are taken to cutestuffedlizards through this special link - Some of these customers like the stuff on display and make a purchase. AffiliateCurry is able to trace each sale made on a Merchants website that was referred by you and credits the predefined commission amount to your account. This commission could be a fixed amount per sale, or a % of the sale.

What has happened here?  You, as their affiliate, have helped CSL Pvt Ltd get a new visitor to their web site and more importantly you have helped them get a relevant visitor who ended buying their product. In return for your services CSL Pvt Ltd has paid you a commission at a previously agreed amount through AffiliateCurry.
