What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Points of Interest
•Affiliate Networks typically act as a bank, tracking
system, client support, media planner, creative, and
compliance team.
•Affiliates are entrepreneurs and assume the
advertising/testing risk though paid only on a
specified action.

•Advertisers pay on performance, while affiliates
typically must arbitrage their media spend (CPM,
CPC, CPO, etc.).
