There are three types of compensation methods that are associated with
affiliated marketing. The first type is Cost per Click (CPC) or Cost
per Mil (CPM.) CPA (Cost per Action) or CPS (Cost per Sale.) The first
is based on how much the advert generates interest by the clicker to
actually buy or register at the advertised site, the second is based
strictly on sales. In other words, an affiliate is paid if the clicker
actually purchases something on the advertised site. George
