What is affiliate marketing?
Over one third of global marketers use affiliate marketing as a key component of their online marketing strategy. Affiliate marketing allows you to leverage the reach, influence, and promotional methods of trusted publisher affiliates. These publishers place your ads or links on their site with the goal of driving a sale, lead, or other high-value online goal that you define. You pay only when a user clicks through one of your affiliates and performs a desired action.
