Difference between sale, lead and click?

I am brand new to affiliate programs. I decided to try out CJ because I hear about it a lot and it seems to be quite popular.

What is the difference between a sale, lead and click?

Thanks!

 

Hi...

Sale = Sale
Lead = Lead
Click = Click

just kidding hehe, read it here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=982333

 

This is a good rule of thumb and may not apply in all cases.

sale= visitor clicks through to merchant and makes a purchase within cookie time. Money is exchanged. You get a % or some stated amount for the sale.

lead=visitor clicks through to a merchant and completes a form, requests a quote, or similar action. Information about the person is exchanged. You get some stated amount when all of the steps for the lead are complete. Car insurance companies are a good example. You get paid when someone fully completes a quote.

click=some clicks on a link from your site, no further action necessary. Clicks usually pay a lot less than the other two.

 

Thanks Brent S, good answer.

 

Hello Brother

Sale = When Some1 Purchase Through Your Affiliate Then it called Sale ...

Lead = When Some 1 Take Free trial Through Your Affiliate Then Ot called Lead.

Click = When SOme1 Click opn your Affiliate then it called Clik...
