Bigmouthmedia Identifying Current Key Affiliate Marketing Issues

EDINBURGH, Scotland, September 29, 2010 - Bigmouthmedia is to conduct a new affiliates survey designed to identify
the key issues in affiliate marketing in the current climate.

The digital marketing agency has commissioned the research in a bid to
establish firm information about the latest developments and emerging
challenges that matter to the sector. Affiliates responding to the survey
will be asked for their opinions on a series of issues ranging from networks
and tracking technologies to the use of creatives and advertising exchanges.

"Are affiliates most successful when they concentrate on just one niche?
Is commission attribution modelling a major threat to the industry? There are
many questions hanging over the affiliates industry and we want to know which
issues matter most to them," said Fiona Robertson, head of Affiliates and
Performance at bigmouthmedia.

"Our Affiliate partners are extremely important to us. We believe it's
important to know what makes their businesses work, to understand what they
think of the digital industry as a whole, and that identifying affiliate
opinions on the key issues currently facing the industry is an essential step
towards creating greater clarity in the sector."

The questions include: are affiliates better digital marketers than many
of the merchants they work with? Are there too many affiliate networks in the
UK? Do networks in the UK have a problem with low quality or fraudulent
traffic and does Google want to become the world's largest affiliate?

The new bigmouthmedia affiliate marketing survey (bit.ly/am6k84),
which closes on October 6th 2010, is open to any affiliate that wishes to
participate and receive a free copy of the final research in return, and one
lucky winner will also get an additional a prize. Responses from networks,
agencies and merchants are not being sought.
