Launched in 1996, Amazon Associates is Amazon.com's affiliate marketing program that includes hundreds of thousands of websites. Associates link to Amazon products and services from their websites, which adds compelling content for their visitors to enjoy and creates an additional revenue stream for their business. This revenue comes in the form of a referral fee that Amazon pays the Associate when a visitor to the Associate's site clicks on an Amazon product or service and completes the purchase on the Amazon retail site. Current participants in the Amazon Associates program include large, well-known sites, niche content sites and blogs, comparison shopping engines, search engine marketers, and everything in between. Amazon has Associates programs for Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.de, and Amazon.fr. Associates India Team operates as a complete product team, in a startup mode, which owns the entire lifecycle of the product from generating ideas, business case study, architecting the product, implementation and supporting it after it goes out live in the market. It gives a complete exposure on what it takes to build a product in a competitive web environment. All of our systems are highly scalable and available distributed systems over commodity hardware.
