First from the womb

I have been reading on what Affiliate Marketing is and feel I some level of understand. What I understand is that it is advertising products on your site through text-links or images. When someone follows that text or image link and buys, clicks, or performs an action you get paid a certain percentage by your affiliate company who gets that money from the mother company of the product you advertised, etc.

I have been reading through the different types of affiliate methods out there, "Pay Per Click", "Click Per Cost", and "Click Per Action" and I understand how each generates revenue. However, I was left confused about how one goes about acquiring these ads for their site.

Say I have a blog site about medical products and setup an account with Google to advertise medical products on my site. Do I have to pay Google some money just so I can have access to Google generated medical product ads to advertise on my site? or I only pay Google when I want to drive people to my site

What you are essentially saying is this:

I like cheeseburgers. Sometimes with lettuce and mayo, sometimes with mustard and pickles. I know I can go to a fast food place and get one or I can buy the ingredients at the supermarket and make my own. If I live on a farm, I can grow my own. What's the difference between a cheeseburger and a hamburger? If I put a piece of cheese on a hamburger, will it then become a cheeseburger?

See, it's impossible for you to go through the discovery of the potential ingredients and not come out of it with an understanding of what the end result will be.

I took ReVice advice, read some more, and now I see the dim light at the end of the tunnel. Going to read some more and and run some test pages to see if that will result in the dim light being an actual exit out of the tunnel to the next wonder land.
