Just by affiliate programs earn money?

I'm new to the internet biz...and I'd really like to get hip on how these sites that sell nothing or just offer free stuff in exchange for customer info make money. I know this is a loaded question but if I just gave away a free product but required people who got my new product to give me their personal information...do I make money by selling their personal info....or do I make money by putting ads to sponsors of the free product on the free product...or both...I'm wondering how these people are making money. Thanks for any info at all...like I said, I know it's a loaded question...

>do I make money by selling their personal info
Careful with that, shaky ground. If you do this, make sure you tell them up front.

How to make money giving away free stuff? Get lead commission on giving the stuff away, promote other stuff that's related for commission, or last-resort - banners/popups.
