About Affiliate Commissions
  About Affiliate Commissions

Have you ever thought about the different methods by
which affiliate commissions are paid? There are four main
types of commission pay categories. They are:

1. Pay Per Sale - Nearly everyone is familiar with this
type. Pay Per Sale is when the affiliate program company
pays the commission as either a fixed amount or a
percentage of each sale that you make.

2. Pay Per Impression - When you place a banner or a link
on your website, and it is 'displayed' to your visitor,
you will be paid a few cents for that visitor. All the
visitor has to do is see it; he/she doesn't have to
click on it. If your site is a high traffic site, this
is one way to add another stream of income.

3. Pay Per Click - You are paid a commission for each time
a person clicks on a banner or link. The commission paid
for Pay Per Click would typically be more than for Pay
Per Impression.

4. Pay Per Lead - is when a visitor actually signs up for
something: a newsletter subscription, a contest, or if
a form is filled out asking for more information. These
examples would establish the lead you are getting paid
for. The dollar amount isn't that high - only one to two
dollars but can add up.

When you are researching how commissions are paid, you should
also look at whether the program pays only on one level or
more than


one. These are called single-tier, two-tier or
multi-tier. Some programs offer commissions down four or five
tiers. The tiers are created when another person signs up as
an affiliate using your link.

Another aspect of affiliate commissions is how often the
commissions will be paid. Some companies pay quarterly, while
others pay monthly or bi-weekly, depending on the amount of
money owed to you.

The amount of commission owed to you also plays a part in
when you are paid. Most companies do not pay until your
accumulated commissions is $50 or more. A few companies do
not pay the first month, but pay one (or three) months after
the commission has actually been earned. Sometimes you can
choose your own level when you sign up as an affiliate, but
not often.

As you can see, there's a lot more information you need to
know about affiliate commissions than getting them. Keep
these things in mind when you choose affiliate programs to
promote and it will help to increase 'your' commission revenue.
