Pet websites can make money by joining pet insurance affiliate programs.
Websites that provide information for pet lovers can use pet affiliate programs to promote pet insurance online. The site owner can choose one or more affiliate programs that offer commissions on sales of pet insurance. Each affiliate program provides banners or other pet insurance links for affiliates. The affiliate gets paid when visitors click on a link and then buy pet insurance at the affiliate program's own website.
