Created since 1996 from Amazon, the largest online bookstore, affiliate programs to increase the business volume of an e-commerce site (the "merchant" or "franchisor")through a network of linked sites (referred to as "affiliates").
The mechanism is based on affiliate programs is simple: anyone with a website can earn money by directing visitors to other similar sites that sell goods or services. This methodology is called "commercial performance based advertising" (results-based advertising) because the "merchant" (i.e. the site of the company whose affiliatespromote products or services) recognises a Commission for each action (purchase, registration, downloads, etc ...) made by users from an affiliate site.
This commercial methodology called "performance based advertising" (results-based advertising) is revitalizing the Web and changing most of the rules until recently, when you thought it was enough to have an idea to succeed online, and is also known with terms affiliate program, associate program or revenue sharing program.
The premise is simple: anyone with a website can earn money by directing visitors to other sites that sell goods or services. It's simple to implement (through creativity as banners, buttons, promotional boxes and anything else that can catalyze the attentionof surfers) and it works because visitors are much more willing to click on a specific product, well chosen, rather than a random banner.
Commission Junction
Commission Junction is one of the leading companies on the market in the field of affiliate marketing: counts indeed over 1,500 suppliers of goods and services and affiliated sites present 400,000 worldwide. CJ is one of the pioneer in the field of electronic commerce. The CJ network constitutes a powerful impetus to the development of e-commerce: through affiliates, suppliers of goods and services directly and promote certain cost information or products that affect the final consumer.
For simplicity, we distinguish the service into two parts. The first, which we will call "for affiliates", will cover briefly what it can mean for a CJ Website and want to earn money by placing advertising on it. The second, which we will call "for traders", will cover some of the benefits for those who have a site and need to increase sales, increase registered users, finding new subscribers to your newsletter, etc.
For affiliates
If you have a website or newsletter, Commission Junction gives you the tools to make money with your online business. You just visit the site of CJ, register for free, choose advertisers best suited to your site, in the form of banners, text links or search form, and insert it into your site. Depending on the advertising program, you'll receive a Commission when one of your visitors click on those links and performs an action (whether it can be a purchase, a registration, a download, etc.) on the advertiser's site. ! CJ sends your commissions every month, and you can use free online tools to check your results, finding new advertisers or new links to your website.
For merchants
Commission Junction has built a web-based solution that does not require purchasing, installing or updating software. CJ follows effectively and in real-time all transactions between merchant and affiliate, the trader cashes commissions and pays the affiliate commissions on sales achieved. In addition to a minimum monthly fee for participation in the network as a "merchant", you will need to pay only for results, reducing customer acquisition costs based on the methodology known as "pay-for-performance" and increasing the power of your marketing budget.
From 1998 to date, CJ has raised over 50 million dollars in commissions paid to affiliates!
