AffiliateBenchmarks is a research report that was compiled using survey data from over 450 affiliates. 9 out of the 23 questions the survey addressed are listed below.

Peter Figueredo of NETexponent commissioned the survey and just announced over at Revenews that AffiliateBenchmarks will be free to download until 12/12. Affiliate managers DEFINITELY want to grab this data. I’m thinking some of the info could be helpful for affiliates as well.

Some of the survey questions include:

1. How many affiliate programs have you joined?
2. How many affiliate programs are promoted on your site (or sites) in an average month?
3. Out of all of the merchants that you promote on your site, approximately what percentage of them generated at least one order for you last month?
4. How many employees does your company have?
5. When evaluating an affiliate program, does the affiliate technology play a role in deciding whether or not to apply?
6. Please choose your Top three Affiliate Technologies from the list below.
7. From the list below, please pick three items that you find to be the most valuable when promoting an affiliate program.
8. What are the three most important items you look at when deciding if you want to join an affiliate program?
9. With regards to communication, how many newsletters do you receive in a week?
