An affiliate network acts as an intermediary between publishers (affiliates) and advertisers (merchant) affiliate programs. It allows website publishers to easily find and participate in affiliate programs which are suitable for their website (and thus generate income from those programs) and allows websites offering affiliate programs (typically online merchants) to reach a larger audience by promoting their affiliate programs to all of the publishers participating in the affiliate network.

Traditional affiliate networks enable merchants to offer publishers a share of any revenue that is generated by the merchant from visitors to the publisher's site, or a fee for each visitor on the publisher's site that completes a specific action (making a purchase, registering for a newsletter, etc.).The majority of merchant programs have a revenue share model, as opposed to a fee-per-action model typical for product search and price comparison websites.
