How does Affiliate Marketing work? (1)

When you sign up with a company as their affiliate marketer, they will give you a unique URL. This unique URL is called an affiliate link.

This affiliate URL or link contains a special piece of code in it that will help track the source of anyone who clicks on it. On every occasion someone clicks on the affiliate link, a special file known as a cookie is installed on the user’s device browser. This affiliate cookie does help the merchant track the source of the sale which in this case, points you as the publisher who initiated the sale.
