Compensation Rate:
- The rate at which an affiliate receives money in exchange for goods or services. It is how affiliates are paid and should be stated in the affiliate contract.
Personally I’ve rarely heard this term actually used, but it basically just means how often are you paying the affiliates. Most programs and networks pay on a monthly basis, although many super affiliates who are bringing in a large revenue stream prefer to be paid every 2 weeks or every week as a normal job would pay. Considering this is their full time job for the most part, I don’t blame them for wanting to receive their commissions more often.
