site or when the visitor becomes a lead.This means a lot of savings for the merchant. On the other hand,it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate,for commissions in PPP marketing usually comes in therange of 15% to 20% of the actual product sales.

Pay-per-performance marketing can be furtherclassified into two popular types: pay-per-sales (PPS) andpay-per-lead (PPL).

oPay Per Sale (PPS)

In a pay-per-sale type of marketing, the merchants paythe a certain fee whenever the visitor he has referredto the merchant's site actually buys something from themerchant's site. Affiliates are often paid on commission basis,although other merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee. But nomatter what the basis of the fee is, it is generally higher thanthe fee paid to affiliates in a pay-per-click program.

oPay Per Lead (PPL)

The pay-per-lead type of marketing is a slightvariation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance andfinance companies and other companies who rely on leads fortheir company to grow. In this type of marketing, theaffiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to themerchant's site fills up an application form or any similar formrelated to the business of the company. Compensation for thistype of marketing is based on a fixed fee whose ratesapproximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type.

Aside from these three specific types of marketing, alot of other marketing types exist. If theclassification is based on the depth of the network,it can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tieraffiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliatemarketing that pays the each time the customer he hasreferred purchases something from the merchant's site.

*Single-Tier, Two-Tier, and Multi-Tier Marketing

These types of marketing are based on the differentlevels or tiers in the network by which payments aremade. In a single-tier marketing program, theaffiliates are only paid based on the direct sales or traffic hehas referred to the merchant. All the previously mentionedaffiliate marketing types (i.e. PPS< PPL, and PPC) fall underthe single-tier classification.

*In two-tier marketing programs, the is notonly paid for the direct traffic or sales that he refers to themerchant's site, but also on every traffic or sales referred byvarious other affiliates who joined the programthrough his recommendation. Multi-tier marketing worksthe same way, although the gets additional commissionfor a wider number of affiliates in different tiers in theaffiliate network.

* Residual Income Marketing

In residual income marketing, the gets paidnot only once for every customer he has referred to themerchant's site. Rather, the is also paid whenever thecustomer he has referred returns to the site and purchaseanother product. Compensation for such type of affiliatemarketing is based on either sales percentage commission orfixed fee basis.

The different marketing types would virtually workdifferently for merchants and affiliates alike, and each wouldgenerally have their own list of benefits. Which type ofaffiliate marketing will work best for you? It is not really forme to tell. Rather, it is for you to choose which type ofaffiliate marketing program will suit your needs andcharacteristics best.
