People searching for products on my site, can I open store?

[Duende]

Hello,

I have people searching for products on my site like clothing and athletic gear, occasionally books and DVDs. Now I personally don't have anything to sell them, but is this what the whole affiliate marketing is about, or something? Can I make an Amazon store and just fill it with stuff I think people would like and plug it into my site?

Just curious how I try and monetize the people searching for products on my site, when actually creating those products isn't my aim...

It's for my mixed martial arts site at MMA.BS.

Thanks, all.

Yes and yes. If they buy through your link, you get commission on the sale.

If your visitors are looking to buy products, you're usually better off giving them products than adsense ads, even at Amazon's fairly-low commission rates.

Perfect, thanks. I didn't even know if was an option if I wasn't selling my own products...

I'll have to research some more and see the best way to do this.
