Affiliation Does Not Always Require A Website
In truth, the earliest forms of affiliation never actually required a website. A website is nothing
mandatory for you to become an affiliate. Amongst all types of affiliation, the website-based ones are one
category. Others do not require a website.
We know PPC as the first method used for affiliation. In this system, the affiliates received a payment for
the number of clicks to links of the actual sites. PPC lost its popularity as the companies realized that the
systems of frauds made it tough for affiliates and also it was not profitable by just clicks and visits to the
sites. Slowly, the programs changed to a pay-par-view system. The affiliates only got the money when there were
views of the content on a site. However, the methods of fraud reached to a level where one started to take away the
affiliation money of another. They called this method cookie stuffing. When a visitor came to visit a site, a
program would automatically attach a cookie to the user’s computer. Afterwards, when the company used its
affiliate-tracking program it would find out which host attached the cookies. This is the pay-per-action type of
work for the affiliates. The cookie-based tracking system is weak when there are other affiliates making fake
cookies
Continuing on the journey of signing up with affiliate
programs, another method adds the affiliation of signups. We call this method the Referral Method. Here
affiliates increase the popularity of a website or the popularity of a product or computer application through
referrals. Websites that require more popularity require people to signup and use them each day. The website
owners pay the people who cause others to sign up using his or her referral code. These affiliates invite
others to come and join the website using the referral code for their affiliation. The company pays the
affiliate for each referral. The referral method goes equally for the application. When a person registers an
application through the Internet using the referral code of an affiliate, the company transfers money to the
affiliate. This system is a newly emerging one where the buyers register an affiliate’s referral codes when
they buy the computer application, by doing so the user will receive some kind of extra service like a
discount on the cost-of-registration. The referrer registers with the developers before advertising or
providing demos of an application through copy. This method is the most popular method for anyone without a
website.
You can also become a registered affiliate using the referral method. For everyone who are
starters in affiliate marketing, this is a good method. You can also try the method for file hosting which is
also a popular way of affiliation. For this, you register with a website and then host files for the website.
However, uploaders may suffer from some copyright issues. However, it is not important to have your own site
for affiliation. You can become an affiliate without a website.
