A great example of this is when I was at eBay in 2004.
用个例子来说明2004年我与eBay合作时
We changed the way we paid our affiliates for new users.
我们改变了向合作网站支付的方式
And affiliate programs are a bit out of fashion these days,
当时,会员程序有点过时了
but the idea of an affiliate program is essentially you pay anyone on the internet a referral for sending traffic to your site.
会员程序的思想本质上就是给增加你网站流量的贡献者报酬
But it's mostly about getting access to like, big marketers who do it on their own, like separately and some really good stories from this.
通常的做法是链接到不同的大型的营销网站上这里面有很多很好的故事
We were paying for confirmed registered users.
用户确认注册后,我们会支付报酬
So all of our affiliates were aligned, they're out getting confirmed registered users, to the base site.
合作网站争相为我们推荐用户
We changed our payment model to pay for activated confirmed registered users.
后来,我们改变了支付模式只有用户确认注册并使用网站服务后,才付报酬.
So you had to confirm your account and then bid on an item,
用户要确认注册信息,并在eBay上竞价
or buy an item or list an item, to become someone that we paid for.
或是买东西,或是拍卖东西,这样,我们才给合作网站支付报酬
