Frequently Asked Questions
- What is performance marketing?
-
Performance marketing, also known as affiliate marketing, is a method of marketing that rewards specific results, including the generation of leads, sales and other actions. In affiliate marketing an affiliate promotes an advertiser’s products or services.
Affiliates receive a commission based on how many sales or leads they generate. Unlike other marketing models, performance marketing allows affiliates and advertisers to track and analyze exactly where their marketing efforts are effective. Affiliates receive commission payments when they generate sales or leads, and advertisers only pay when they receive sales or leads.
