Web3 Affiliate Ads 101

What are affiliate ads?

At their core, affiliate ads are a form of performance-based marketing. An advertiser creates an ad campaign, a publisher (or affiliate) promotes it, and when a sale happens, the affiliate earns a commission. Simple, right?

But traditional affiliate ads have limitations:

• Lack of ownership for affiliates
• Opaque tracking and reporting
• Centralized control by ad networks
• Limited value beyond immediate sales

Enter Web3 affiliate ads. Same basic concept, but with a blockchain-powered twist that addresses these limitations and opens up new possibilities.

‍

The Web3 difference

Web3 technology brings several game-changing elements to affiliate advertising:

1. Decentralization: No single entity controls the network.
2. Blockchain: Immutable record of all transactions and interactions.
3. Smart Contracts: Automated, trustless execution of agreements.
4. Tokenization: Digital assets that can be owned and traded.

These elements combine to create a new paradigm for affiliate advertising. Let's see how.
