The modern variation of the practice of paying finder’s-fees
for the introduction of new clients to a business is a
popular method of promoting Internet businesses called
affiliate marketing. An affiliate marketer is paid for
every visitor,subscriber, or customer provided to an
Internet business because of his efforts.
The affiliate marketer earns compensation based on a
certain value for each visit (Pay per click), registrant
(Pay per lead), or a commission for each customer or sale
(Pay per Sale), or any combination.
You can see where an affiliate marketer would be sorely
tempted to send out email advertising the products he
makes money on for promoting. This resulted in so much
SPAM being generated that anti-spam laws were enacted.
Spammers are severely fined and the newest twist in the
anti-spam laws are that the merchants whose affiliates
spam are being held responsible for the spamming as well.
So caution is well advised to merchants.
Merchants who are considering adding an affiliate
strategy to their online sales channel should research
the different technological solutions available to them.
As affiliate marketing has matured many affiliate merchants
have refined their terms and conditions to prohibit
affiliates from spamming.
Some types of affiliate management solutions include:
standalone software, hosted services, shopping carts
with affiliate features, and third party affiliate networks.
Spamdexing or search engine spamming is the practice of
deliberately creating web pages which will be indexed by
search engines in order to increase the chance of a website
or page being placed close to the beginning of search engine
results, or to influence the category to which the
page is assigned.
Right now there is a lot of debate about the affiliate
practice of Spamdexing and many affiliates have converted
from sending email spam to creating large volumes of
automatically generated web pages each devoted to different
niche keywords as a way of search engine optimizing their sites.
This is sometimes referred to as spamming the search engine
results.
Spam is the biggest threat to organic Search Engines whose
goal is to provide quality search results for keywords or
phrases entered by their users.
