Supplementary notes
*Prospect. **Forecast.
Affiliate marketing in this research refers to the following four types: 1) ASP (Affiliate marketing Service Provider) style, where an ASP acts as an agent between an advertiser and website owners. An ASP earns advertisement and commission fees from an advertiser, while it pays rewards to website owners; 2) Shopping mall style, where a virtual shopping mall earns advertisement and commission fees from shop owners for offering a place to promote sales of products to deal in, and pays rewards to website owners; 3) Stand-alone type, where an e-commerce owner itself becomes an advertiser to promote its own products and contents, and pays the web site owners for rewards; 4) Platform type that earns rewards by offering a platform equipped with tracking systems and analysis tools needed for affiliate marketing.
The affiliate marketing market size was calculated by totaling the reward value, commission rate, and various charges involved (i.e., initial cost, monthly expenses, optional charges, etc.).
