Affiliate marketing is a happening in the online business world. Three main agencies that are engaged in this kind of marketing are the web site publishers, the advertisers and the affiliate networks. The principal role is played by the web site publishers, who publish promotional content on behalf of their advertisers. The advertisers job is to devise the program and power the marketing efforts by sharing revenue. Networks help as an intermediary and connects the affiliates with the merchants.
The importance of affiliate program in affiliate marketing cannot be undervalued. It is the program that either makes or breaks the plans made by affiliates and merchants. Web site owners are inclined towards affiliate marketing, provided the program is good enough. From the publishers point of view, we have listed some benefits, which are:

Joining an affiliate program and afterwards promoting for the advertiser is quite simple. A web site owner can go through the latent benefits in just few minutes and it takes the same time to register as an affiliate.
Guaranteed Payouts:
Money is one thing that is guaranteed in affiliate marketing. Publishers can have a fair idea of what they are looking at after reading the terms in the affiliate marketing program. The payouts can be less due to some inconveniences, otherwise it is guaranteed.
Fast Returns
This applies for both affiliates and merchants. The returns in affiliate marketing are instantaneous, but may be delayed to avoid any inconvenience on the part of advertiser. Affiliates can earn on a daily basis, but the payments are made only after some threshold amount has been credited in the account of publisher, which further gets reimbursed on a due date as has been fixed in the affiliate program.
More Money
Compared to other online programs, affiliate programs are better paying. It can be more so for programs based on sales models.
These are some of the reasons that justify the popularity of affiliate programs among the site owners.
