Affiliate marketing is on the rise and expanding among business professionals. Businesses are increasingly seeing the value in affiliate marketing, as it provides both potential benefits and cost savings. As per the publisher's findings affiliates generate $27 for every dollar they spend on advertising and marketing, which is more than double the industry average. There are a number of factors contributing to this trend. Affiliate marketing is becoming more accessible and affordable, making it an attractive option for small businesses with limited resources. Additionally, the growth of technology has made it easier for affiliates to participate in affiliate marketing campaigns. Websites such as Google AdWords and Facebook Advertising allow affiliates to place ads on their own websites without having any prior experience or knowledge about digital marketing. The increasing popularity of affiliate marketing is likely to continue into the future, especially as businesses increasingly see the value in earning revenue through referrals instead of traditional advertising methods. Affiliate marketing offers a cost-effective way for businesses of all sizes to reach new consumers and generate additional revenue. By Product

Wherein, cost per click segment is dominating the global affiliate marketing market by holding more than 50% market share in 2021. This study suggests that more than 90% of affiliate marketers attribute a portion of their affiliate earnings to CPPS.
