Am I the highest bidder in either case? If you're selling me traffic, you get a penny. If you're selling them the product, you get $50.
If you don't have the sign up page, you can't be selling. Promoting yes, selling no.

As very few affiliates have a sign up page or even a tour to close the sale, how can they "sell"?

Promote yes.

Main Entry: promote  [pruh-moht]
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: help, advance
Synonyms: advertise, advocate, aid, assist, avail, back, befriend, benefit, bolster, boost, build up*, call attention to, champion, contribute, cooperate, cry*, develop, encourage, endorse, espouse, forward, foster, further, get behind, hype*, improve, nourish, nurture, patronize, plug*, popularize, propagandize, publicize, puff, push, push for, recommend, sell, serve, speak for, speed, sponsor, stimulate, subsidize, succor, support, uphold, urge, work for

Anyone see the word sell in there?

However

Main Entry: sell  [sel]
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: exchange an object for money
Synonyms: advertise, auction, bargain, barter, be in business, boost, clinch the deal, close, close the deal, contract, deal in, dispose, drum, dump, exchange, handle, hawk, hustle, market, merchandise, move, peddle, persuade, pitch, plug, puff, push, put across, put up for sale, retail, retain, snow, soft sell, soft soap, spiel*, stock, sweet talk, trade, traffic, unload, vend, wholesale

Notes: a cell is a small compartment or the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms, while sell means to exchange or deliver for money or its equivalent

Sell as meaning. To sell the idea of taking the next step of the process. In that case affiliates do "sell". Is that what people here meant?
