Talk:Affiliate marketing

I've attempted to make the original article a bit more precise in terms of who is being compensated and how. I also added the historical roots of the idea, the finder's fee, and expanded a bit on why someone might use this marketing technique. I've also added some more current reference to the practice of spam.

cash-to-cause

I read an article that looks like it's from an affiliate marketing website. They said that amazon.com and others have stopped using "cash-to-cause" affiliate marketing. The authors seem to feel that Amazon has wronged them by not using their services. Queue tiny violins...now. But what I can't figure out is, what's cash-to-cause?

On an unrelated note, I like the implication in the original entry that sort of implies spamming doesn't annoy people anymore.
