How Affiliate Marketing Programs Work?

Understanding Affiliate Links

When you join an affiliate program, you receive a unique link to promote a product. This link tracks any sales or actions back to you, ensuring you get credit for your referrals.

The Role of Cookies in Affiliate Marketing

Cookies store user data and ensure you receive credit for a referral, even if the customer doesn’t make an immediate purchase. Depending on the program, cookie durations can range from 24 hours to 90 days or more.

Types of Affiliate Marketing Programs

• Pay-Per-Sale (PPS): Earn a commission for every sale generated.
• Pay-Per-Click (PPC): Get paid for driving traffic, regardless of sales.
• Pay-Per-Lead (PPL): Earn for each sign-up or lead generated.
