  <body-formatted>&lt;p&gt;This year, we have set up separate surveys for &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/pNPQ"&gt;UK-based affiliates&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/VG5N"&gt;US-based affiliates&lt;/a&gt;, and we are excited about the prospect of comparing the findings from both pieces of research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surveys cover most of the areas we focused on for the first census, but we have also included various new questions, some of which relate to current market trends and issues such as the rise of voucher sites, the recession and the involvement of Google in the performance arena. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be fascinating to see the balance between different types of affiliate and how the&#160;mix is changing&#160;between areas such as PPC, True Content&#160;and Email.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year the sponsors of the affiliate Census are &lt;a href="http://blog.affiliatewindow.com/?p=223"&gt;Affiliate Window&lt;/a&gt; in the UK and &lt;a href="http://www.mediatrust.com/"&gt;MediaTrust&lt;/a&gt; in the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As was the case last time, we&#8217;ve also&#160;worked in conjunction with Jess Luthi at &lt;a href="http://www.affiliateprogramadvice.com/index.php/2009/01/06/uk-usa-affiliate-census-2009-pre-launch/"&gt;AffiliateProgramAdvice.com&lt;/a&gt; to help get this research off the ground.&#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch out for the reports which will be published in the spring. &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/VG5N"&gt;US affiliates&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/pNPQ"&gt;UK affiliates&lt;/a&gt;&#160;can take the survey now and get a free, advance version of the report in return for their efforts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study will compliment survey-based&#160;affiliate research aimed at &lt;a href="http://econsultancy.com/reports/affiliate-marketing-survey-report-2008"&gt;merchants and agencies&lt;/a&gt; which we carried out last summer in association with &lt;a href="http://www.ro-eye.co.uk/"&gt;R.O.EYE&lt;/a&gt;, and which will repeated later this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</body-formatted>
