Affiliate Link
The affiliate link is really nothing more than a link, which contains a specific attribute so that the affiliate marketing network knows who the new customer comes from. A well-known example comes from the insurance industry. Price comparators, such as Independer and Pricewise list the best choices for consumers. Then you can buy insurance directly through them. For this, the price comparer receives a fee from the insurer. But then of course the insurer has to know through which site this new customer comes to them. The affiliate link provides this piece of recognition.
Also, the affiliate link allows the affiliate marketing network to analyze how well different affiliates work, which ones are interesting to get as an affiliate in the future and where there are still profits to be made. Thus, affiliates can be better employed with the help of the affiliate link.
