Pay per click affiliates
Pay per click affiliates make money off of banner ads on their sites. Each time a user clicks on such an ad they are directed to the appropriate site. Advertisers track the number of visitors to their sites and where they come from. Each time they receive a hit from one of their pay per click affiliates they are obligated to pay some sort of commission.
Other types of affiliate sites get paid solely based on the traffic their sites receive. Some get commission only when a costumer makes a purchase on a vendor’s site. Pay per click affiliates are kind of a combination of both. The more traffic they receive the better, but advertisements must be appealing to their users in order for them to get paid.
One problem with pay per click affiliates is that the system is open to click fraud. For example, affiliates could hire people to constantly click on certain links that they know will make them money. Major corporations have developed automated systems designed to protect against click fraud. The pay per click advertising model is widely used in conjunction with search engines as well.
