Frequently asked questions

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based advertising in which a business (i.e. merchant) rewards a third-party partner (i.e. affiliate or publisher) for each customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.

An affiliate network acts as an intermediary between affiliates and merchant affiliate programmes. It allows the affiliates to more easily find and participate in affiliate programmes which are a good fit for their website. It allows merchants offering affiliate programmes to reach a larger audience by promoting their affiliate programmes to all of the affiliates who have joined the affiliate network.

An affiliate programme is a platform in which all recruited partners of a merchant are a part of.

The main difference between a standard affiliate and a super affiliate is that instead of bringing customers to a merchant’s affiliate programme, a super affiliate brings other standard affiliates onboard. The super affiliate will then be compensated based on the performance of their referred affiliates.

Affiliate marketing is a great addition to any business’ marketing mix. It is a great way of obtaining a third party endorsement from experts and other customers. It is also an effective method of filling in gaps and blind spots by reaching niche markets that merchants may not be able to or may not want to target. Lastly, affiliate marketing is a less risky channel of marketing, as it is a performance-based form of advertising, meaning partners get paid based on their results.
