Affiliate Marketing Programs

This form of marketing goes by several names; it is also called Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Advertising, Performance Marketing, Partner Marketing, CPA, or Associate Program.

In an affiliate marketing program, an advertiser receives a commission for generating a transaction, such as a lead or sale, for an merchant that the advertiser is promoting.

The merchant provides its ads to advertisers and assigns a commission for each action it wants to accomplish.

Advertisers place the tracking code for these ads on their websites, in their email campaigns, or in search listings.

Whenever a visitor uses these links to generate an action on the advertiser site, that transaction is tracked online.

If a product or service is purchased, the customer pays the merchant directly, and the advertiser is paid a commission for that transaction.
