If you want to grow your affiliate program, you need to know the best ways to find affiliates. You also need to know what their hot buttons are and what turns them off! No better place to get the data than the 2009 <strong><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/16411991/2009-Affiliate-Summit-AffStat-Report">Affstat Report</a></strong> which is available for free today.
I got a preview from Shawn last night and grabbed one of the charts that will be of interest to affiliate managers. This one shows a breakdown of how affiliates find out about new affiliate programs. The top 5 ways, in survey results order, are: affiliate directories - direct contact from the affiliate manager - Google searches - the affiliate manager is active on forums - affiliate manager blogs.

The report features dozens of charts of data, based on the responses from 450 participating affiliates. It also includes candid complaints, ideas, suggestions or opinions affiliates have regarding affiliate marketing.
Additionally there is a glossary and a list of top affiliate forums and industry blogs. (Thanks Shawn for including the 5 Star forum and blog.)
