    Hi,

    I am relatively new to all this, can someone give me a run down of all terminology of all the different affiliate program types. I know ppc is pay per click but can someone list all the different types and what they stand for.

    Thanks

    You'll find some definitions and info at wikipedia.org
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing

    Some of the main acronyms are:

    CPA Cost per Action
    CPS Cost per Sale
    CPL Cost per Lead
    CPC Cost per Click
    CPM Cost per 1,000 Clicks
    ROI Return on Investment
