Online Marketing Glossary: Residual Earnings
Residual Earnings:
- A program that pays affiliates not just for the first sale, but all additional sales made at the merchant’s site over the life of the customer.
It’s my understanding that not many programs offer this anymore due to the incredible expense it could lead to if the customer is a good customer. More often programs are offering second tiers and giving commissions to the affiliate on the sales affiliates they’ve referred to the program are making.

Online Marketing Glossary: Widget
Widget:
- A small application designed to reside on a PC desktop or within a web-based portal or social network site offering useful or entertaining functionality.
These also appear on many blogs, even having a few in my sidebar. WordPress refers to any sidebar module as a widget, and there are millions of widgets out there. A great blog I read that keeps me up-to-date with what new widgets are coming out and what new released versions is Widgets Lab.

Commission Junction: Happy 10th Birthday
Affiliate network Commission Junction is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary today. They are one of the top affiliate networks with thousands of affiliates and hundreds of advertisers, including one of New Edge Media’s client’s PrintPlace.com. From their announcement today:
“The dedication of all our teams to putting our clients first contributes to our longevity,” said Kerri Pollard, General Manager of Commission Junction. “Many Internet-based companies that were founded in the dotcom heyday of the last decade are no longer around. The fact that we are still successful after 10 years is a testament to the fantastic partnerships we have with our clients.”
I’ve personally been working with Commission Junction since the end of 2007 and I’ve had very few problems with them, mostly related to internal IT issues on the advertiser end and their reporting. I do wish the reporting was better, but otherwise it’s a great network to get exposure on with a wide range of advertisers for an affiliate to choose from.

Link Bait:
- A useful, entertaining, creative Web content or Web tool that encourages website owners to link to it.
A lot of bloggers do this – write a post that has a headline that’s just RIPE for linking back. Create some controversy to get your blog linked to. Or, just create some damn good content to pass along for others. There’s nothing wrong with this; it’s a skillful art that some people have mastered and some haven’t.

Online Marketing Glossary: Super Affiliates
Super Affiliates:
- The best affiliates in a program based on performance and earnings, usually the top 1%, who generate the majority of revenue for a program.
I’ve also used this term to refer to an affiliate who is well known across multiple programs to run a super successful affiliate site participating in many programs. Such well known super affiliates include John Chow, Zac Johnson, Connie Berg, Mike Allen, and Amit Mehta.
