Affiliate Program

Affiliate marketing is an innovative way to generate additional profit by means of revenue sharing advertising between affiliate and merchant web sites. Affiliate sites promote the merchant's products or services to the visitors via marketing channels for example; banner ads, text links, email, and HTML banners.

Merchants recruit content sites to partner as affiliates in exchange for commission, which is usually a flat fee per lead/sale or percentage amount based on the value of the sale. Paying only when a sale or lead occurs. Merchants provide advertising banners and text links to affiliates, the Merchant has the ability to assign a commission for multiple different actions the consumer performs.

Affiliates place just a few lines of HTML code into their web site in order to display the text links or banners from their chosen merchant offer. When a consumer clicks on any of these links they will be redirected to the merchants web site. Providing the consumer completes the requirements to be classed as a lead or sale, the transaction is reported back to the affiliate network, and this results in commission for the affiliate.

Affiliate marketing allows affiliates and merchants to profit online alike and removes increases a merchants return on investment for marketing. Affiliate marketing really is the only 'pay-per-performance' method for growing your online business.
