The answer

If the product being promoted is permissible, then there is no harm in the earnings acquired from the promotion, provided that the earnings are a known amount or a known percentage of the price at the time of the contract. However, if the earnings are a percentage of an unknown price at the time of the contract, this is a matter of dispute. The transaction is not affected by the presence of prohibited advertisements on the website of the product owner. To inquire about the ruling on receiving money merely by a browser clicking on a product link without purchasing it, one can refer to relevant fatwas.
