Affiliate marketing

An advertising model where a company (an advertiser) pays a commission to third-party publishers (affiliates) that drive visitors to the company’s website by merchandising a product or service. In this model an affiliate network plays the role of the intermediary that measures transactions and facilitates payments or other activities between advertisers and publishers.

  • Social networks
  • Search engines
  • Digital banners
  • Blogs

The affiliate publisher is a website, usually with high traffic volume, which earns a commission when its visitor is redirected to an advertiser’s website and completes a transaction.
