Affiliate marketing can get pretty technical, even for those well-versed in digital marketing. Fortunately, you don’t need to know all the details to get started. But here’s a quick look behind the scenes:
When an affiliate joins the merchant’s program, he or she is given a unique ID and a specific URL to use when promoting the company’s product.
The affiliate includes the link in their blog post and/or via their email marketing efforts and invites readers to click it to find out more.
When a potential buyer clicks on the link to visit the affiliate partner’s site, a cookie identifying the affiliate is placed on the website visitor’s computer. The cookie ensures that the publisher is credited with the referral sale even if it occurs days or even weeks later.
Whenever a buyer completes the sale process, the merchant checks the sales record for a cookie identifying the source of the referral.
If the merchant finds a cookie with an affiliate ID, the affiliate is credited with the sale.
The merchant makes reports available so that the affiliate can see their referrals (clicks) and sales.
The merchant pays the affiliate commission at the end of each payment period (i.e. revenue sharing).
