There are several companies in the internet market

place that are capturing a piece of the affiliate

pie by bringing affiliate marketers together with

companies offering commissions for sales. Their

role is to manage the affiliate programs for the

companies while ensuring the sites offering

referral links are paid commissions in a timely

manner.

While a few companies manage their own

affiliate-marketing program, the use of affiliate

marketing corporations is growing with the trend

becoming more popular, freeing company resources to

concentrate on customer service. It also allows the

companies to use the information from referred

visitors for lead generation.

The landing page for

most companies contains requirements to register to

use the site. At minimum, information is requested

as opposed to mandated, enabling companies to

gather visitor information. This works well for

companies offering items or services, which are not

considered renewable. For example, shoppers for

music, food items and other disposable items will

be shopping for them frequently. On the other

hands, those seeking mortgage information or for

remortgaging their homes will generally do so only

once or twice in their lifetime.

By using

affiliate marketing, these companies have thousands

of other websites sending visitors their way

instead of relying on expensive advertising and

marketing, possibly limiting their exposure to

potential customers specifically searching for that

type of information. It can tap into additional

markets where they may have been missing the

boat.

Affiliate marketing corporations can also

help review websites applying to be affiliates,

reducing the possibility of a website offering

services that is not in the company’s best

interests from displaying their ads. For instance,

a website that sells religious materials may not

want to be affiliated with websites for gambling or

adult oriented materials. Of course, this goes both

ways, as a church may not want to place ads for

gambling on their site.

Generally, a company

signed with an affiliate marketing corporation will

supply a variety of link styles, including text

links, graphics links and even search box links for

affiliates to choose from. These links rest on the

corporation’s website and are gleaned by the

affiliate for the best fit for their sites. The

corporation will then track the activity for the

link including the number of impressions, the

number of clicks as well as the amount of purchases

and commissions due the affiliate site.

Affiliate

marketing corporations however, do not work for

free. They often receive a cut of the sale in

addition to the affiliates. While this adds to the

cost of making a sale, the companies realize that

without the additional exposure the sales probably

would not happen, and they get the additional

benefit of customer information for potential

future sales.
