An affiliate program
is when one company pays others to drive traffic and/or
sales to its website. Affiliates are paid in different ways:
- Click-throughs: When a visitor on the affiliate site
clicks a link and goes to the site paying for traffic.
- Commissions: When a purchase is made as a direct
result of the affiliate's link.
The majority of companies track
click-throughs and commissions through a unique link given
to the affiliate. The affiliate may link to the paying
site using text links or banner ads. Some companies
actually create separate websites for its affiliates.
Following are examples of each:
Amazon.com. We are paid
a commission whenever someone purchases a book as a direct
result of our links.
