More than 1,800 affiliates were surveyed on their methods, preferences, and strategies for the 2014 Affiliate Summit AffStat Report.

This report features the results of the survey.

Most affiliates work in a vacuum, and scant data exists to tell the story of the affiliate marketer.

As an industry, we are rich in speculation, but poor when it comes to aggregating the facts and figures that drive this business.

Review the results in the report. Compare and contrast against your experiences and/or your situation. Consider the implications of some of these results.
