PAD is the Portable Application Description, and it helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format that will allow webmasters and program librarians to automate program listings. PAD saves time for both shareware authors and webmasters. – Ref: http://pad.asp-software.org

In simple terms, PAD XML is an biography of your software that includes product name, version, description, download links, product page links, company name, support email, sales email, contact numbers, etc.

Without website traffic, it feels that everything you do for your business is a waste a time.

The time you spent developing a product is wasted….
The time you spent developing website is wasted….
The money you invested in project development is wasted…
The money you invested in resources is wasted…

You need to spread your product info into many sites to get more customers. Submitting PAD file into download directories not only gets customers and also affiliate partners to market your product immediately.

Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as ‘retailer’ or ‘brand’), the network, the publisher (also known as ‘the affiliate’), and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors. – Ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing

In simple words affiliates are external marketing leads of your software/business working outside of your company. You need to give commission for each sale.
