[I do understand that your answer will be closely tied to the main type of affiliate promotion are in, but I thought it may be interesting to get such stats from affiliates registered at A4U Forum]
how about adding in:
Content units/dynamic links/html links
email templates
best sellers
competitions
search forms/interactive banners
Thank you for your input, hero. There are all great options. Do any of them represent the majority of what you use for any given merchant, or does it differ from merchant to merchant and you use all of them if all of them are provided by the merchant?
The goal of this poll is to try to find out what % of affiliates prefers what "kinds of links". I pretty much expect it all to be quite even, but wanted to run this poll before I make any conclusions for myself.

It differs from sector to sector, actually. Generally though we advise our merchants to provide as many of the tools as possible in a couple of variations each, so the affiliates will have plenty to choose from and there will be something applicable to them, whatever their marketing preference may be.
What's most important though is to keep whatever you have made available fresh and updated frequently, otherwise don't bother offering all these tools in the first place.
