Good read on how affiliate network works
January 9th, 2009
Just came across the excellent read: LinkShares Sales Reporting Web Service and Affiliate Tracking Methods 101 by Carsten Cumbrowski, although the posting is a bit dated, but the material is still very good.
I found the read when I was researching on how affiliate networking works, how sales are tracked and what is it that merchants need to do to join an affiliate network. Most of these affiliate networks cater to only English web sites and English advertisers and affiliate. My idea is to build one targeting non-english affiliates and merchants. As what good is it to help clients build an e-commerce store, but you can’t help them generate sales?
Stay tuned…
