In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral converts into a sale, paid subscription or anything else entailing a financial commitment by the customer or lead. This means great savings for the merchant in advertising costs. On the other hand, it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate, because commissions in PPP affiliate marketing can range from 15% to 20% and sometimes 75% of the actual product’s sales price.

Pay Per Lead (PPL)The pay-per-lead type of affiliate marketing is a variation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance and finance companies and other companies who depend on leads for their company to grow. In this method of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to the merchant’s site fills in an application form or any similar form related to the business of the company. Commission for this type of affiliate marketing is based on a fixed fee whose rates approximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type. Aside from these three specific types of affiliate marketing, a lot of other affiliate marketing types exist. If the classification is based on the depth of the affiliate network, it can be classified as single-level, two-level, and multi-level affiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliate marketing that pays the affiliate each time the customer he has referred purchases something from the merchant’s site.
