CHICAGO - DoubleClick Performics, the performance marketing division of DoubleClick Inc., today announced results of a semi-annual survey of affiliate publishers. As a complement to in-depth, multi-faceted research DoubleClick Performics currently has in the field, a section of the semi-annual publisher survey was devoted to garnering publisher feedback regarding advertiser promotions.
