Can someone explain the difference between a CMS & an affiliate backend program?
 

Easy enough for an elementary school student to understand it, can one explain the differences between a CMS (Carma for example) with an affiliate program like NATS and why a paysite needs to have both?

A co-worker asked me why the company we work for needs both and I'm having myself a dumb blonde moment and can't put the differences between them into words :( I'd rather just have her read it here.

i used to live in kakadu

cms - script for managing content

affilate backend - script for running affiliate program - tracking sales etc

What's the difference between a shoe and a hamburger?

Never mind DIFFERENCES, your co-worker needs to know what each one is.

youre launching a new program next week right ?

one is to manage content one is to manage users and sales.

I remember when I discovered the internet...
