Affiliate Marketing Industry - How Big Is It?

4 replies
Hey Warriors,

I've been searching around for stats - not able to find
too much as far as what I'm trying to find...

Anyone know where I can find some Affiliate Marketing
statistics for 2010, 2011, and past and future growth?

There has to be some report out there about the
industry and growth over the last few years... it must
be buried in Google. I can't find it.

Anyone know of anything?

Thanks.

    I'd say atleast 40% of the traffic today is controled by affiliates, the rest is by merchants who choose to cut out a middle man use services like PPC/Media buying companies to handle their marketing efforts.

    I'd be interested in this data as well. Don't mind if it's a free web article or some kind of paid report.

    Thanks Chris, I appreciate it.

    However, I'm looking for stats like...

    In 2009, Affiliate marketing generated $XX Billion in sales
    according to XYZ Company...

    From 2005 to 2010, the Affiliate marketing industry grew
    by XX% according to XYZ.

    Basically I need real-world stats by respected industry
    experts or companies.

    Still searching Google like crazy - I would have thought
    that stats like this would be readily available. I'm sure
    some industry research firm has the info - it is just buried
    out there in cyberspace.
