Sight Savers International is the latest charity to test paying Web site owners 
for donations generated on their sites through banner ads.

Sight Savers are using the services of online affiliate programme management company
AffiliateWindow.com. The charity is asking AffiliateWindow’s network of Web site
owners to run one or more of their three banner adverts/buttons on their sites. 
The charity will then pay 10% of the value of any donations generated as a result
of visitors clicking through from these banners to the Sight Savers Web site and
making an online donation.

Sight Savers will pay Web site owners for any donations generated within 30 days
of such a click-through.

Matt Blake, Web site co-ordinator at Sight Savers, told Third Sector magazine: “
paying a fee to Web sites only when visitors make a donation seems like a highly
cost-effective route to increase both the awareness of our work and the funding 
to carry it out.”

Sight Savers joins Save the Children, the Institute for Cancer Research, the British
Red Cross, and World Vision in offering commission on donations/payments to Web 
site owners who can generate results.
