How do discount/coupon web sites make money?

I was wondering how a web site, that offers coupons and discounts on behalf of another business (say a local retailer) make money? Would I charge the retailer an advertising fee to promote their discounts and special offers? Thanks.How do discount/coupon web sites make money?
Couple of ways. One is many of the coupons have codes that link back to the site's owner. The ';click here'; for coupon transmits the coupon site information to the vendor.





An other way is to use the coupons/discount to get you to look at the page. Show you other Ads (like Google AdSense), they get paid when you click.





Yet another way, is to get you to look at the site. Then try to sell you something directly.





Yet another way, get you to the site, have you register for personal coupons and sell you as a lead. That can be done without emailing you by placing special offers on you login page.





Of course all these methods CAN BE COMBINED to make even more money.

Coupon codes are listed on sites that provide links to the sites to which the coupon code relates. If you use that link to go to the site, and buy something, the site gets a percentage.





Printable coupons are more difficult. You would need to have advertising on the site for other products, and hope people clicked and bought - or if it was Adsense ads, you would get a few pennies for any ad clicked on. To make a good living on a site like this, you would need enormous amounts of traffic.
they work together with the online website. whenever someone click it, its like a referral program or ad sense. so, whenever someone using that coupon the online shopping knows its this one websites.
