    Affiliate vs Sponsor?!

    What do you call affiliate / sponsor programs? These two words are used all the time to mean the same thing, which do you prefer to call them?

        If I'm working with a program, they're a 'sponsor'; if I'm speaking about someone whose doing the marketing as a contractor, that's an 'affiliate.'

                  If someone calls an affiliate program, or a sponsor an "affiliate", I generally want to smack them upside the head and tell them to get their wiring checked. Pet peeve.

                      sponsor programs - from one sponsor to another

                      affiliate programs - from one webmaster to another

                          Eigther Sponsor or Affiliate program.

                          Just not affiliate on it's own.. like in "looking for affiliates to promote".. that just shows having no clue

                              To me:

                              Sponsor program = Program sponsoring... events, ad buys, direct traffic.

                              Affiliate Program = Program using affiliate based marketing methods, paying affiliate websites for sales sent, etc.

                              Affiliate = Owner of website sending sales to an outside website... Could be a blog, could be a member's area, could be a website network.

                              I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” -Oscar Wilde

                                A sponsor will most likely have an affiliate program and many affiliates will join the
                                sponsor and promote the sponsor's product.
