Affiliate marketing involves revenue sharing between two web sites. The Affiliate site normally provides free advertising for an e-commerce site and compensation is based on performance i.e., sales, clicks, registrations, or a combination of all.

Affiliate Marketing is the new marketing strategy significant for the e-business world. The reason for the success is that the ‘Merchant’ (advertiser) pays only for the results rather than paying to reach the audience. ‘Pay-for-performance marketing’ is the other apt name for Affiliate Marketing. In addition, the ‘Affiliate’ gains an incentive by permitting the Merchant to post an advertisement on his webpage.

Functioning

Affiliate Marketing is a widespread method of promoting a website, wherein an affiliate is paid a commission by the merchant for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer that he provides the merchant through his efforts. It is a modern variation of the practice of paying finder's fees to the individuals who introduce new clients to a business.

Compensation may be 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). The Merchant offers to pay the Affiliate ‘x’ amount for either a click through from the link of Affiliate’s site, or for a lead (where the visitor signs up for a newsletter, fills in a form etc.) or a percentage of a purchase made by a visitor as a result of a click through.

Even if the visitor does not make a purchase on the advertiser’s site immediately, most programs will offer ‘cookie duration’ of usually around 30-90 days. This means that as long as the visitor has the cookie in their cache; even if they return to the Merchant’s site one month later, the affiliate will still receive the commission from the sale.
