Cashback is an interesting twist on an time old advertising method. Efficiently the middle men are being cut out of the style and it is the consumer that 'gets paid' a kind of personal online discount.

Merchants have large marketing budgets, which pay for newspaper/TV advertising and all the other advertisings you see around. Most vendors allocate a portion on this budget to online advertising. Usually this means putting your signature on up to an affiliate marketer network, giving the product owner has access to a third party transaction traffic monitoring system.

These affiliate sites recruit websites that post merchant advertising in come back for earning a ratio of any merchant sales generated. When a consumer, clicks through an advertisement and completes a deal, this is tracked by the affiliate network system. The merchant pays a percentage of the purchase value to the network who then pays the website displaying the advertisement.

With a cashback site, the cash then flows to the customer. This may be a percentage of someone buy value (minus taxation and shipping fees) or it could be a fixed money value.
