    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!

    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.
