  Affiliate marketing is an internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate marketing efforts.
Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods.
Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some elements of display advertising.
Affiliate marketing is using one website to drive traffic to another. Affiliate Marketing is a form of online marketing which is frequently overlooked by advertisers.
While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile.
  Affiliate program is one of the first things the owner of online business needed to achieve higher targeted traffic and increase sales.
Affiliate program is effective solution because it allows you to pay per performance not only for advertising
Instead of paying for advertising, vendors who use affiliate program pay commissions only when promotion results in an actual sale..

 

• New affiliate is registered
• Affiliate gets his tools (text link, banner etc.) and places the advertisement on his website
• Visitor comes to affiliate’s website and clicks on the advertisement
• After click visitor redirected to merchant’s website (at this moment the affiliate program software tracks that click and makes the proper record in its database)
• Once visitor decided to make a purchase he clicks on the ‘buy’ button (now the affiliate program makes another note in database)
• Once the purchase is complete the system pay the commission to the affiliate.
