Online Marketing Glossary: Lead Generation

Posted on Sep 26, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing |

Lead Generation:

  • Websites that generate leads for products or services offered by another company.  On a lead generation site, the visitor completes a contact form to get more information about a product or service.  The submitted contact form is counted as a lead.
