When you refer a new customer, companies not only consider the value of the first purchase, but also the ability to retain that customer long-term, and the profit that will come when this customer buys again. the company's other products, or renew the service every year!

3. Learn Affiliate Links, Link Tracking and Link Cloaking?

Do you wonder how companies know that customer is referred by you?

What are Affiliate Links and Link Tracking?

Each Affiliate Partner will be given a link with its ID called Affiliate Link, when the user clicks on that link to the company's website (Merchant Sites), that link will be recorded (Link Tracking) and if the user buys products of the company for a certain period of time (usually can last up to 60 days) then you will be charged a commission!

So if a user clicks on your affiliate link, then clicks on the link of another marketing page, and then makes a purchase, who will the commission be charged to? Hola, the commission will be charged to the nearest link you clicked on!

So what is Link Cloaking?

Link Cloaking is a form of hiding link marketing. There are 3 main reasons:

1. User psychology does not like to click on a link if it is known as a marketing link to make money.

2. Many social networks and forums do not allow the direct posting of affiliate links.

3. Affiliate links are often very bad & not SEO friendly.

Link cloaking can be done easily with many free “Link shortening” plugins like Pretty Link Lite or Simple URLs.

4. What is CPA? Types of CPA

CPA stands for Cost Per Action. This is the term associated with Affiliate Marketing. In the form of CPA marketing/advertising, companies will pay you when a user performs a specific action (Action), there are 3 common action types: Sale, Lead and Install:

● CPS - Cost Per Sale: you will receive a commission when a user clicks on a link and buys a product/service, this is the most common type of CPA and usually has the highest commission rate!

● CPL - Cost Per Lead: users click on the referral link and provide information by completing the forms on the website according to the supplier's requirements, you will receive a commission even if no products are sold. !

● CPI - Cost Per Install: enjoy commission when the user clicks on the referral link and installs the provider's application. This form is not very popular in Vietnam yet!

It's also important to note that CPA terms are often interpreted differently by each place. There are places where CPA - Cost Per Action is considered as Cost Per Acquisition (paid when customers pay for the product). There are also places where CPA is considered Cost Per Lead… Due to the limited understanding or point of view of each person, they use the term CPA differently (MacKeNo)!

5. Distinguishing CPA and CPC

CPC or Cost Per Click is the most popular form of advertising payment today, specifically Google Adsense and Facebook Ads... This is a form of payment based on the number of clicks of the user on the link or banner ad.

In Affiliate, the CPC form is not applied, because the actual number of clicks does not accurately reflect sales or service registrations!
