One of the most tried, trusted, and beneficial ways of
increasing online sales through marketing and advertising
is affiliate marketing. This is basically a revenue share
sort of system, where an affiliate is given a form of
commission from a merchant, based on how many sales the
affiliate has generated through advertising on his or her site.
Affiliate marketing began just four years after the world-wide
web was launched, and many successful e-commerce sites owe much
to this simple yet effective method.
There are three types of affiliate marketing methods of payment
1. either pay-per-click (generated by actual clicks or referrals
to the merchant from the affiliate’s site),
2. pay-per-action or pay-per-sale (very similar, in that the
affiliate receives payment, either a fixed amount or commission
based on the sales or subscriptions that have come through
referrals or adverts on the affiliate’s site.)
The last two methods of payment are generally preferred by
merchants, due to many fraudsters taking advantage of the click
system and setting up sites with forced clicks, pop-ups, adware,
spam, false advertising and many other “black hat” techniques.
3.Affiliate marketing is not limited to only display-adverts on an
affiliate site, but also comes in the form of email, blogs,
rss feeds, content and niche sites, loyalty sites, comparison
sites or shopping directories, and other forms. It is an
extremely low cost, but highly effective form of marketing and
advertising, presenting little to no risk for both the merchant
and the affiliate.
