See http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/ as well as http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentati...

iTunes affiliates get a cut of 5% of all purchases within 72 hours, not just for the originating app (or media).

Aren't most of the apps that AppGratis links to discounted to free for the day. Apple doesn't pay commission on free downloads, right?

They don't. But let's say you click and buy another app or IAP within that 72 hour window, the affiliate gets a cut.
