Affiliate marketing overlaps to some extent with other internet marketing methods as affiliates often use regular advertising methods. These methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC - Pay Per Click), email marketing, content marketing, and (in a sense) display advertising. On the other hand, partners sometimes use less orthodox techniques, e.g. B. the publication of reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing is often confused with referral marketing because both forms of marketing use third parties to drive sales to the retailer. However, the two forms of marketing differ in how they increase sales, with affiliate marketing being based solely on financial motivations, while referral marketing is based more on trust and personal relationships. Affiliate marketing is often overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, email, and website syndication are drawing the attention of online merchants, affiliate marketing is much less well known. However, affiliates continue to play an important role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.
