A good merchant-affiliate relationship is not like host-parasite dependence and exploitation of one at the cost of profit made by the other. The partnership should be a mutual consensus to help each others business to grow. Merchants are as much in need of good affiliate resource as are affiliates. It is only the right deal among the right people that works out; otherwise the whole exercise of finding an affiliate, availing his service and then no results is a waste of so many things.

An affiliate provides a platform or his own website to help the merchant sell his products and services. It is very much like a business chain, except the fact that the affiliate may be linked with any number of merchants. Few essential elements which help merchants to determine the right affiliates and the right space for the placement of their advertisements are:

·Relevance: Affiliate resources or websites should have relevant content to that of the merchants. If the merchant is selling couture or furniture, the affiliate’s site should have content on couture and furniture. The people who come to affiliate’s site must be interested in the contents and thus conversion into possible customers would be most.

· Traffic and popularity: The traffic of visitors on affiliate’s site should be considerable. A small number of people visiting the affiliate’s website won’t make any difference in the sales. Also, the site must be popular or credible enough as not to spoil the credibility of the merchant.

· No objection status: Affiliate’s resource must not be banned or should not have a clear history devoid of any legal dispute. There are many sites whose content is forbidden by the regulating bodies, like porn sites and gambling sites.

· Affiliates selling accessories: For a merchant who is selling some product online, it is better to go for an affiliate selling accessories. Such a partnership will help in retaining the visitors and giving everything to a customer at one place.

· Engagement with other merchants: Many affiliates happen to be interested in more than one merchant. In the course of time they loose their focus on any one and the entire relationship gets messed up. So be wise and look for the right one.
