Affiliate Census 2009 – Calling all Affiliates we need you
AffiliateProgramAdvice.com and E-Consultancy.com both companies are independent and impartial and trusted.
Last year e-consultancy.com (largest independent UK Data Research company) and in association with AffiliateProgramadvice.com made UK Affiliate Marketing History by producing the first ever UK Affiliate Census which can be downloaded here http://econsultancy.com/reports/uk-affiliate-census-report .
The UK Census came about due to the lack of transparency for Advertiser and Affiliate Networks in terms of who are “affiliates” Very little is known about the very people who contribute billions to our online economy. Affiliates/publishers also have little or no information about each other in terms of what is the average revenue an affiliate makes, what do affiliates see as a threat to the industry, what is the best method of promoting a merchant/Advertiser, how many networks does an affiliate belong to?.
This year it’s now time to turn our attention to the USA too. This census will be a first for the USA so a bit of USA Affiliate Marketing history is in the making, all too exciting and for the UK we already have historical data so we can now plot changes/trends. We intend to do a US an UK comparison too, is the US any different to the UK? Does the UK do it better? Do US Affiliates make more money?

We believe this Affiliate Census will be the biggest piece of research in understanding “who are the affiliates and what do they do and how do they do it”? But… we cant do this without the entire industry getting behind this and pushing this out so here is what we need for you to do.
For Affiliates
The survey is for affiliates and takes less then ten minutes to complete by way of thanks to all those who complete the survey, we will send you the results, there is an option at the end for you to add your email address for when the report is published, this is optional. Please be aware this survey is 100% confidential, we do not ask for any personal information and the questions are fairly generic, by all means walk through it first.
We have a US survey (aimed at US Affiliates) can be seen here http://bit.ly/VG5N
We have a UK survey (aimed at UK affiliates) can be seen here http://bit.ly/pNPQ
Brick move So if you are a US affiliate please follow the US link and if you are a UK affiliate please follow the UK link.
For affiliates who are neither UK or US, you can still participate, example if I live in Germany but promote UK Advertisers, you would follow the UK survey link.
Cut off is 27th January 2009
Thank you so much in advance and if I could be a little pushy, when you have completed the survey, pass this on to anyone you think would be interested. You rock!
