If a company advertises on a website, how does the profit counts?
Is because of the number of people that visited the site and therefore has seen the ad banner?
Or is because of the number of the clicks on the ad banner itself???
Thank you in advance!

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?
Posted on May 7, 2011.
Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as ‘retailer’ or ‘brand’), the network, the publisher (also known as ‘the affiliate’), and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors.
Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.
Affiliate marketing—using one website to drive traffic to another—is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers.[1] While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers’ marketing strategies.[
Affilliate marketting is where a company has a product for sale and offers commisions to other users who sell their products. This is usually done by placing an ad for that product on your web site or blog which contains an affilliate link, so that when a visitor on your site clicks the link and purchases the product, the seller knows who the commision needs to be paid to.
