Affiliate Marketing has become extremely popular in these few years. Even people with little experience in internet marketing may have also heard about it. However, what is actually affiliate marketing and how does it work?

In fact, affiliate marketing works in the following way. For example there is a company who want to advertise on the web. The company will pay a website if the website refers visitors, using the links provided by the company, to the website of this company. And it is just as simple as that!

The first affiliate marketing started in 1994. The music website www.CDNow.com utilized the method stated above to advertise. And it was proved to be a great success. Since this first trail and experiment, other online stores started using this method to advertise on the internet. Internet giants such as Amazon and Ebay started their own affiliate programs. Today, affiliate marketing becomes one of the most popular and most used way to promote products or services on the internet.

So the question now is why this method of advertising is so popular. One of the most essential reasons is that the advertisers do not need to pay beforehand. And the advertiser will only need to pay when there is a visitor coming from the publisher. In other words, the amount to be paid will be totally based on the performance of the websites which host the banners or links.

In order to count the number of visitors, the idea of unique visitor will usually be adapted. And the notion of unique is mainly in connection with IPs. The advertisers will count the number of unique IPs to access the performance of the publishers. Of course there are also advertisers which will paid according to the number of impressions. But the price for each impression will be a lot lower than the price for each referral visit.

There is another mode of affiliate marketing. Under this mode the advertiser will pay if some follows the links from the publishers and make some purchases. In this case the advertisers will have virtually unlimited budget on advertising since they will pay only if someone has made purchases. However, without any surprise, this will be more difficult for the publisher to make money.

As discussed, affiliate marketing is so popular and famous nowadays. It is good for advertisers since the risk is so little. The publisher will also love it since they can make extra bucks from these programs. As a result, affiliate marketing will keep dominating the world of online marketing in the future.
