Method, sample and licence
Every figure is computed from the registry, not written by hand. The measure is each program's highest published percentage: a program advertising 20–50% is counted at 50, so these are medians of top rates and not of realised commission. Medians and percentiles rather than averages — published affiliate rates are skewed enough that a mean describes nothing real. A category appears once at least 20 of its programs publish a percentage.
A blank is an absence in the source, never a zero. Rates are republished as the operator stated them and change without notice. Data as of 2026-08-29.
