Different Types of affiliate programs

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what are the different types of Affiliate programs we are having & which one of them is really useful....?

Thanks!!

 

Basically affiliate program are of two types. Product and service.

 

For more information about affiliate program, please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing

 

Are you looking for different formats (CPA, CPS CPI, CPD, etc), or actual offers to run?

Please clarify and we can advise

 

Product selling is the best of all. but if you can target the perfect traffic then I think you can also get good benefit in CPA.

 

There are three different types of affiliate programs, each of which is described in more detail below.
In-House Hosting
With an “In House” affiliate program, perhaps the most familiar of which is Amazon.com, the merchant or producer uses a commercially available software program to set up and manage a large number of marketing affiliates. As well as specialized software, this also usually requires engaging an affiliate manager to oversee the program. The chief advantage of setting up and hosting your own affiliate program is that you can set it up exactly the way that you want to. You can set compensation plans different from the industry norms if you want, as well as develop your own contracts and affiliate rules. Hosting your own program may also increase margins as you save on commissions with no middle management tier to pay for. Of course, this may be offset by your own start-up and management costs.
Third-Party Hosting
Most affiliate programs are hosted by third-party specialist service companies, such as myaffiliateprogram.com. They supply the infrastructure necessary to support both the merchant and the affiliates. The advantages to a merchant is that a third-party provider will usually manage the signing and support of affiliates, including tracking referrals, collecting payment information and providing technical support.

 

Different networks have different pricing models, some will demand a set-up fee from a new merchant, while others will ask for a lump sum up front as a deposit against the first payments. Nearly all will take some sort of percentage of the commission paid, so new merchants should always factor that into any margin calculations.


Some networks concentrate on simply building large numbers of affiliates, regardless of their track record for attracting new business. When looking at potential networks it is worth considering the quality of the business per affiliate, rather than just the raw number of affiliates already signed to a network.


Different networks also have different approaches to help you market your services. Some are very much “hands off” and do little more than list your program in their directories. Others are more full service and will assist with creative decisions as well as proactively promote your program. As a merchant you should decide which suits your needs the best.

 

I also do not know about this and i am willing to get something like this.
