The Internet has fast become an efficient and trusted way for companies to market and sell their product. One of the reasons for this has been the rise of “Affiliated Marketing” – which is when a website directs traffic to itself through adverts on other (usually related) websites.
There are different modes of payment for the affiliate. One scheme is known as pay-per-click scheme, where the affiliate gets a commission for every clicks the merchant’s ad generates in his/her (affiliate) site. On the other hand, there is the Pay-Per-Sale system, wherein the affiliate gets his share of profits when the ad he/she posted made an actual sale or subscription. Generally, this Pay-Per-Sale or Cost-Per-Sale / CPS is the best scheme available for the affiliate and merchant alike.
Affiliate marketing began just four years after the world wide web was launched, originally popularized by well known companies such as CDNOW or Amazon.com. Google’s Adsense is also a very well known type of affiliated marketing, but is not really considered as true affiliate marketing as the adverts usually centers around the theme of the website they are displayed (known more as contextual advertising.) Google does not also directly sell a specific product, but generates money in other ways.
This Affiliate marketing is very cost-effective, since the affiliate and the merchant does not have to pay anything to each other, until there is a sale. It is only when a successful transaction takes place that the merchant has to give a certain percent of the revenue to the affiliate.
Pay per click (or cost-per-click) as I have mentioned above can present a risk to the advertiser or the merchant. Thus, merchants try to avoid this system, for they are investing money for the clicks without the assurance of generating a sale. Hence, the cost-per-sale (CPS) system is the preferred scheme, since it has very little or no risk at all for both parties.
