Step 1

A Consumer visits an Affiliates website or views an Affiliates advert on the web.

Step 2

The Consumer then decides to click on one of the Affiliates adverts that is from an Affiliate Network.

This visit to the advertisers website is then automatically tracked to the Affiliate.

Step 3

The Consumer goes on to make a purchase or completes a lead form.

The action required to earn commission will vary depending on the Affiliate Program.

Step 4

The Affiliate earns commission if the Consumer did the action required by the affiliate program.
