    What exactly does that word mean? I keep reading it (I just got into affiliate marketing) but I have no idea what it is? Thanks.

    I think it means packaging the affiliate offer with one of your own. Like, sign up for this offer and receive a free whatever.

    I think it means that you get a bonus for reaching certain goals (sales in a month, banner impressions, etc).

    Hmm 'you think'? I'm not making fun of you, but I think it means a lot of things too =P I'm just not sure either.

    If you get incentivized you are given a reason to do what they want you to do. Often compensation of sorts like remuneration or some bonus.

    Example:

    If I tell you to go clean up my garden I'd give you an incentive - you can drive my Ferrari for a day. I wouldn't expect you to do it for nothing.

    Affiliate Programs often offer incentives on top of their usual tiers. During Christmas you see a lot of incentives like iPod giveaways etc.

    Alright, Thanks. I guess it has nothing to do with low quality traffic =P.

    Okay, here's the response from my Azoogle rep:

    "jessicaazoogle: What incenitized means....You can actaully incentivize people to fill in a form. For instace, fill in this form and I will give you an ipod"

    "jessicaazoogle: some people run incentivized sites where they have lots of applicable offers for their users to sign up for"

    Also something to note is you can sign-up for incentivized offers yourself.
