Today, affiliate marketing programs is seen as one of the most important methods by online companies and merchants to market their products and services because implementing an affiliate program doesn't cost much money and it helps generate a consistent stream of online profit.
On the other hand, the affiliates see affiliate marketing as a feasible and low cost method to make online online by promoting other people products using a website or without a website (using Google AdWords PPC advertising program).
There are many affiliate programs on the Internet and not all of them are similar. The most basic affiliate programs fall into 3 categories:
- Pay Per Performance
- Pay Per click
- Residual Income Affiliate Marketing Programs
Pay per performance (PPP) affiliate programs are what most companies and online merchants likes to use. The companies only need to pay when an affiliate referral translates into an action. The action can be a purchase or a lead. The affiliates will spend their own money to promote the affiliated company's products, This save a lot of money for the company. PPP affiliate programs can be futher classified into 2 sub-categories:
- Pay Per Sale (PPS) The title says it all. The company only pays the affiliate when a visitor referred by the affiliate make a purchase.
- Pay Per Lead (PPL) PPL is a little different to PPS. PPL affiliate programs usually used by finance and insurance companies. In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate will be paid a fixed commission whenever a visitor referred by him/her to the merchant's website requested a quote or filled up an online application form.
PPC affiliate programs are most popular. You should have heard them a lot. PPC programs are probably the easiest way for web publishers to make money from their websites and blogs. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount ($0.05 to $0.50 usually) whenever a visitor click a banner or text ad displaying on the affiliate's website. PPC typically used by contextual advertising companies like Google AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Networks and much more.
Residual Income Affiliate Marketing Programs
In this type of programs, the affiliate not only compensated for every customer referred to the merchant's website, the affiliate is also paid whenever the referred customer returns to the site and buy another product.
The different types of affiliate marketing programs would deffinitely work differently for merchants and affiliates, and each would have their own advantages and drawbacks. To find out which types of programs work best for you, you'll have to know which one of them suit your need and characteristic most. And then start testing them.
this article of yours was very informative...out of all these programs i decided to chose pay per lead program...which gives me 2$ to 5$ per lead and further lead is confirmed as soon as the person decides to sign up.
due to its sheer conversion rate (65-80 percent) these kind of programs are very paying.. when combined with google adword these kind of program can do wonders coz of extremely high conversion rates.
will keep u posted

great website and deserves the PR1 google ranking .Affiliate marketing is easy seems to work for me.

Good article, but residual affiliate income actually generally refers to something like a monthly membership site where you get paid every month as long as the customer keeps paying for their membership. What you referred to is known as a two-tier affiliate program.
But a very good article for beginners.

Pay per sales and residual income is the most lucrative affiliate marketing business model.
2 tier affiliate program will allow you to recruit an army of affiliates work for you. You will receive commission once the sales has made.
Residual income is the best model to implement. It's provide long term and continuous income as long as the customers remains as member in the affiliate program you promoted.
To your success,
