AffiliateBenchmarks.com Launches - Free Report for 30 Days

It's been a long time since I've posted anything here, so what better way to get back into the swing of things than to announce the launch of a brand new affiliate research project from NETexponent. Our team has been hard at work over the past few months collecting and analyzing data on the affiliate marketing industry and we've put together a pretty great report. Please don't take my word for it - see for yourself.

Head over to AffiliateBenchmarks.com for your free report. It will only be free for 30 days and then it will be $199 so hurry.
