We announced earlier today that we are now publishing information about the affiliate statistic software used by affiliate programs and the frequency with which programs update statistics. You can see the announcement here:
Stat update frequency and stat software now being published for affiliate programs
So, for this week's poll, I think it makes sense to ask how much affiliates care about the frequency with which their stats are updated.
Based on preliminary data from affiliate programs, it looks like close to half of them provide statistic updates on a daily basis. And about half of them provide updates more frequently, currently ranging from every couple hours all the way down to providing the information in real-time.
How much do you care about the frequency of updates? Be sure to share your reasoning in addition to voting in the poll.
