Both approaches aim to market products or services online, but they differ fundamentally in how they work and how they're structured cost-wise.

Google Ads are paid advertisements that appear in search results or across Google's Display Network. Advertisers pay per click or impression and have direct control over budget, audience targeting, and ad design. Costs are incurred immediately, regardless of whether a conversion is achieved. Google Ads are particularly suited for fast visibility and short-term campaigns.

Affiliate Marketing, on the other hand, is based on performance-driven partnerships. Companies work with publishers who promote products or services and receive a commission – but only when measurable success occurs, such as sales, leads, or registrations. The cost risk is significantly lower, as you only pay for actual results.
