I'm surprized that some affiliates apparently think that no information is better than some...

Okay, so knowing that a top affiliate has made $10K (or whatever) doesn't tell me how he did it nor whether I can do it, but it does tell me what has been proven doable (assuming the figure is honest). I can also see whether several affiliates have solid earnings, or if only one or two are doing well.

Certainly the value of this information is marginal, but it can be displayed easily and without so much as hinting at someone's identity or location. Anything which means I'm not choosing sponsors in a total vacuum is good. But more than anything, the willingness of a sponsor to disclose this information says something positive about their confidence and their attitude towards their affiliates. It's certainly interesting to see which sponsors steer clear of threads like this or join in but make excuses as to why they don't do whatever is being discussed.
