Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing involves the use of publishers or affiliates to promote your goods or services on a pay for performance basis. As a merchant or advertiser, your links are placed in content and adverts that are featured on affiliate websites. When a Web user clicks on a link, they are connected to the retailer, and if they purchase something the affiliate receives a small agent or referral fee, often determined as a percentage of the money the customer spends. Most of the providers listed are affiliate networks, but there are also companies who offer programme management of direct programmes or those run through a network.
