Pay-for-performance is a form of online advertising where
a marketer pays for results rather than paying to reach a particular
audience. The publisher displays banners, ads, text links or
products on their Web site and is paid a commission by the advertiser
when a visitor takes a specific action, such as filling out
a form or making a purchase.
A Web site (the "publisher") advertises products
or services offered by another Web site (the "advertiser")
in exchange for a commission on actions, such as leads or sales.
Commission Junction, the largest pay-for-performance advertising
network, acts as a trusted third party managing the network,
tracking and reporting on the ads in real time, and handling
monthly commission payments to network members

Merchants, affiliate partners, and Be Free all
work together to make your affiliate partnerships successful.
Each entity has roles and responsibilities to one another. Each
merchant has the primary relationship with its affiliates and
is responsible for sending sales and revenue data to Be Free
and keeping links up-to-date on the Partner Gateway. A merchant
is an online retailer or service provider that partners with
affiliates. In addition, each merchant is responsible for paying
its affiliates in a timely manner.
An affiliate is the owner of a site that chooses
to display a merchant's products or services on its site. When
an affiliate accepts the agreement terms for a merchant's program
when applying, the affiliate is entering into a contractual
relationship with each merchant. Check each merchant's affiliate
agreement for additional information on the contractual obligations.
Be Free powers the technology and services that allow merchants
and affiliates to enter into a relationship.
Be Free's interface to both merchants and partners
provides an efficient tool for managing and growing an affiliate
marketing business. By displaying a merchant's products or services
and driving traffic to the merchant's site, an affiliate earns
commissions from the merchant.
LinkShare.com
hosts a password-protected website that offers affiliates
a choice of hundreds of merchant programs. When a visitor from
an affiliate's site clicks on a link and goes to a merchant's
site, LinkShare keeps track of all of the transactions that
the visitor makes. If that visitor buys something on the merchant's
site, you get a commission. On the site, affiliates can join
new programs, get links to put on their sites, and then see
reports about how their links are performing and how much they
have earned.
In some cases, affiliates are compensated even if the visitor
doesn't buy anything, just for having driven traffic to the
merchant's site. LinkShare also provides affiliates with customer
service, notifies affiliates about new programs and new opportunities,
and offers resources for affiliates to learn about how to get
the most out of their programs.
