Referral Fees:

• Fees paid by advertisers for delivering a qualified sales lead or purchasing inquiry.

This is a more traditional term, not so much used in affiliate marketing.  Often this type of referral fee is related to the second tier of an affiliate program, where affiliates can earn a percentage of what other affiliates they’ve referred to the program have earned.  Many super affiliate bloggers like Zac Johnson and John Chow have admitted that this is where a large part of their income comes from.
