Affiliate marketing is a distinct and lucrative advertising model that is fast becoming popular globally. It’s an advertising model where a business compensates third-party publishers to increase web traffic to its goods and services. The perception of paying commission for the referred business came before affiliate marketing and the Internet. The principle of revenue distribution became mainstream in e-commerce in 1994 - almost four years after the beginning of the World Wide Web. The idea of affiliate advertising on the Internet was put into operation and later patented by William J. Tobin, the founder of PC Flowers & Gifts. PC Flowers and Gifts developed the business model of paying a commission on sales to the Prodigy Network, for which they later acquired a patent in 2000. Amazon started a similar program where people could place a text link or a banner on their site, redirecting them to the Amazon home page. If the visitor purchased a book, the associate received a small percentage of the sale. Amazon didn’t start with this sort of affiliate program, but its program has become the most widely accepted method and has served as a model for subsequent programs.
Third-party publishers - referred to as affiliates - gain a small fee, incentivizing them to find ways to promote the company selling the commodities. With this understanding, it becomes a pay-for-performance marketing program where the act of selling is outsourced across a massive network. The World Wide Web and other similar technologies make it easier to implement the affiliate program, and businesses have improved the way they pay commissions on qualified leads. The ability to better track leads and sales contributes to improving their products.
