What is Affiliate network?
Instead of joining dozens of brands one by one, an affiliate signs up once with the network and then applies to the offers it hosts. Earnings from all offers are combined into a single balance.
For merchants, a network brings a ready pool of partners, tracking technology and payment handling. In return, the network keeps a fee or margin on each conversion.
Networks focused on fixed-price actions are often called CPA networks.
Do not confuse it with an advertising network: an ad network sells impressions and clicks, while an affiliate network only pays for results such as a sale, lead or install.
