Affiliate networks are free to join.
They can be hard to find. They sometimes call themselves names like "marketing solutions provider", "pay-for-performance network", "cost-per-action advertising network", or even "performance-based online marketing services company".
Affiliate networks provide pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS), pay-per-action (PPA) – sometimes called cost per action (CPA) – and pay-per-click (PPC) offers from merchants that you promote on your web site or in your newsletter.
Some affiliate networks allow almost anyone to join. Others insist your site must receive a certain number of visitors.
Some let you see a directory of the merchants in the network before you join. Others show you their list of offers only after you join.
