If you\u2019re reading this, you probably already know that affiliate programs are a good way to make cash from your website<\/a>. The opportunities are limitless and the potential huge. If done properly, it can almost become a passive income. But one hurdle to making the most of joining an online affiliate program is a lack of understanding. Not only will the concept be new to you, but a lot of the language will be too.<\/p>\n

Worry not. If you don\u2019t know your verticals from your funnels, or your PPC from your CPC, we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n

6 Acronyms You Need to Understand to Succeed in an Internet Marketing Affiliate Program<\/h2>\n

PPC<\/strong>. The most common of acronyms used in affiliate programs, PPC stands for \u2018Pay Per Click\u2019. For every click an ad or a link on your website receives, you\u2019ll receive a small payment. The most popular PPC platform is Google Adwords, but there are plenty of others out there.<\/p>\n

CPC<\/strong>. CPC is Cost Per Click and it\u2019s inextricably linked to PPC. In short, it refers to the amount of money you will receive for each ad click.<\/p>\n

CPA<\/strong>. Cost Per Action is the next step on from PPC. Here, a click alone is not good enough. Actions, such as making a purchase or signing up to a newsletter must be taken. It might seem like more of a challenge, but the rewards can be greater. CPS<\/strong> \u2013 Cost Per Sale \u2013 is also often used if a purchase is the desired action.<\/p>\n

CPL<\/strong>. Similar to CPA and CPC, Cost Per Lead relates to the price advertisers will pay for each lead generated by an advert on your site.<\/p>\n

CTR<\/strong>. This means Click Through Rate and refers to the number of times that your ad was clicked on.<\/p>\n

URL<\/strong>. You [hopefully] already know this, but if not\u2026 URL stands for Uniform Relay Link and basically means a web address.<\/p>\n

5 Words You Need to Understand to Succeed in\u00a0an Internet Marketing Affiliate Program<\/h2>\n

Affiliate Link<\/strong>. When you join any affiliate network, like Affiliate2Day<\/a>, you will be assigned a personal URL that will underlie each of your adverts. It will track all traffic generated by your website to the advertiser\u2019s platform, enabling you to get paid. Also known as a Referral Link<\/strong> or Partnership Link<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Contextual Link<\/strong>. AKA Text Link<\/strong>, a contextual link takes the form of text alone, making it look like content, rather than an obvious ad.<\/p>\n

Verticals<\/strong>. Your verticals are your areas of interest; the potential market for your adverts. Knowing the latest trends can help you select your verticals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charge Back<\/strong>. A charge back is basically a safety net for advertisers. If your CPA sales referral decides to cancel their order, then you lose your referral fee. Many internet marketing affiliate programs retain a percentage of your monthly earnings to cover charge back. If no cancellations take place, the funds are added to your next month\u2019s remuneration.<\/p>\n

Affiliate Marketing Funnel<\/strong>. A funnel is a virtual trail to get your web visitors to take the action that will earn you cash. If you want to learn more about this, read this excellent article<\/a>.<\/p>\n
