Multi-tier affiliate programs distribute commissions into a hierarchical referral network of sign-ups and sub-affiliates.

In this form, the affiliates not only make money after a direct referral sale but also when a sale is closed by those affiliates who have been referred to by them in the multi tier program. So if publisher no 1 signs up an affiliate program with an advertiser; and he in turn makes publishers 2 and 3 sign up the same, he not only makes money when he makes a direct sale but also when publishers 2 and 3 make a sale.

The network then distributes the money among those affiliates who have made a sale.
