Chapter 1
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing refers to programs that aim to sell more products for a company through partnerships with third party online sales people called affiliates or publishers. Unlike traditional Contextual Advertising, affiliate marketing programs allow content publishers to connect directly with advertisers.
A successful affiliate marketing campaign can lead to a higher income to publishers compared to publishing contextual ads from services like Google AdSense. From an advertisers standpoint, affiliate marketing is an efficient way of promoting ones products because the reward system is based on the publishers productivity. The advertiser only needs to pay if the publisher successfully facilitates a sale.
History of Affiliate marketing
The affiliate marketing business model is not new. It has been around shortly after the first few businesses started offering products and services in the web. The affiliate marketing commission system was likely inspired by the commission payment system of offline sales people. In the sales world outside the internet, sales people have been paid via commission or a percentage of the payment amount for the longest time. In particular, it is a common sales model in the cosmetic, homeware, car and pharmaceutical industries.
The first recorded transition of this business model to the online world happened in 1994. It was a flower selling business called PC Flowers and Gifts. Its founder, William J. Tobin, designed and patented the use of revenue sharing and tracking of visitors activities. The first affiliate network was the Prodigy Network, an IBM owned subscription service that offered online services like access to news, games, polls and many more. Subscribers of the network were given the opportunity to earn commission for facilitating a PC Flowers and Gifts sale to other members of the network.
In 1996, Amazon launched what we now call Amazon associates. At the time, Amazon focused on selling tangible books. A website owner can post a banner ad or a link that leads directly to the product page of a specific book. Commission is paid if a visitor who used the link purchases the book.
In the years that followed, many other affiliate marketing schemes were launched but Amazon Associates became the most popular among them. Since then, the popularity of affiliate marketing as a website monetization method has increased. In 2006 for instance, sales generated by affiliate marketing in the UK, amounted to $2.92 billion.
The popularity of affiliate marketing increased even more when more and more people took part in online content creation. In the early 2000s, Web 2.0 types of content became increasingly popular online. People turned to blogs and forums for answers when they face problems. Some of these blogs and forums monetized their online properties using affiliate marketing programs. By positioning affiliate products as a solution to peoples problems, they were able to earn from the content they post on their websites.
Around 2011, Google cleaned up its search engine results pages with what is commonly called the Panda update. This update in the search algorithm penalized websites with poor content. This was largely due to the fact that many website owners gamed the process of ranking in Googles search result pages. This process is called Search Engine Optimization or SEO.
By doing practices frowned upon by Google, webmasters with websites that hardly have any useful content in them managed to reach the top spot of search result pages. Practices like stuffing a webpage with keywords or creating thousands of fake links that point to a websites allowed these webmasters to raise their spam webpages in the rankings. Most of these spam webpages were monetized by affiliate links and banners. With Google cracking down on webpages like these, the black hat days of most affiliate marketers came to an end.
After the Google Panda updates, websites that provided useful and engaging content rose to fill the top positions of the search result pages. Because of this, websites with excellent content managed to get the affiliate marketing sales.
In the following years, affiliate marketers saw the emergence of social media websites. Together with this, smartphones and other mobile devices replaced personal computers as the primary tools used for accessing the internet. With these changes in the internet marketing world, affiliate marketing strategies also evolved. The internet became a truly multimedia experience. Text content no longer ruled the internet. Instead, videos and images dominated the screens of internet users.
