That's true, but what if you are the affiliate selling sporting goods or clothing?
As an affiliate you can still set up an online store type site featuring the products you are promoting. The key is to have your product link click through to the merchants site, to a page where they can find more information about that particular product (along with directions for placing your order).
If you are using a CJ merchant for example, you can log in and click "get links" and choose "by relationship" and then if they offer individual product links, you will have two choices: "view links" and "view products". Clicking to view the products will give you a list of individual product links that are already coded to take your visitors back to the correct page on the merchant site.
