A thin affiliate is a website that earns money from affiliate commissions. It exists only to make money. The spammer shows content from other “real” merchant sites, such as Amazon or eBay, or a good hotel or travel website. When users click on links to buy products or make reservations, they are redirected to the “real” merchant page.
广告联盟是一个通过联盟佣金来赚钱的网站。它只为赚钱而存在。广告信息的发送者会展示来自“真实”商业页面的内容,比如亚马逊、eBay、一家好的酒店或者一个旅游网站。当用户点击链接来买商品或预定时他们将被重定位至“真”的商业页面。
Thin Affiliates: Spammers make money when a transaction is completed after the user has clicked through to
the merchant’s site from their webpages. A thin affiliate typically doesn’t add much value compared to many
other sources of information on the Web, and often sends the user to another website to complete the actual
purchase.
