This usually means that you are only paid when someone buys a product, such as the Amazon Associates program, or when someone signs up for a program. However, there are many other type of Affiliate Programs out there, including those that pay when someone fills out a form (Cost-Per-Lead) or those that pay when someone Downloads a product or game.
