At its core, AFFILIATE programs are a type of marketing tool that is a form of collaboration between website owners. In essence, the site-owner of a product or service pays a commission to the affiliate partner site, depending on the type of affiliate program. Among the types of affiliate programs are:

Pay-Per-Sale – a commission is paid on the partner site when making a sale by a customer who came by clicking on a banner, link or text link from his site.

Pay-Per-Lead – a certain amount is paid to the partner site if a visitor, who came by clicking on it, registers for use of the site-owner and fills in a form.

Pay-Per-Click – The affiliate site is paid for the fact that a visitor clicks on a banner, link or text link leading to the site-owner.

Affiliate marketing is a model based solely on results. It is measured through a cookie-based system that monitors where visitors / buyers come from on the site-owner.
