Just a note for those of you who were confused like I was upon reading this article: the author seems to be using the term "affiliate networks" in an unusual way - they're calling Facebook pages with some kind of commercial relationship between them "nodes" in an "affiliate network".
The commonly accepted usage is:

- cratermoon 5y agoI think the author's description is a completely accurate description of affiliate networks. The fact the the commercial relationship results in "likes" or "influence" for the affiliates rather than direct monetary compensation from the merchants is just the nature of social media.
