Matthieu,
Thanks for another excellent post! Do you happen to have this information on Affiliation Programs in Europe and specifically for France?
Also on a related topic, do you have data on profiles of internet users of Price Comparison websites in Europe and France in particular? I believe some studies have been done by EIAA but can’t seem to put my hand on these.
Cheers,
J Daly

Hi Justin,
Good questions…
From my understanding, the best way for Comparison Search Engines user profiling in France is to compile the data by yourself. For France, you have a nice list available: http://www.netwee.fr/comparateurs-18961.html.
For demographics, the most reliable source will be the Google AdPlanner – see example for Kelkoo here: http://twitpic.com/sxz8l
Regarding the affiliate networks for Europe and France, you should go for the top 5 platforms: TradeDoubler, Zanox, Netaffiliation, Affilinet (ex Cibleclick), Commission Junction.
Check the top 12 players classified by the Journal du Net here: http://www.journaldunet.com/ebusiness/crm-marketing/dossier/qui-sont-les-acteurs-du-marche-de-l-affiliation/les-principaux-acteurs.shtml.
Before to make your choice for one or two networks, you need to consider the top 30 affiliates they have within your product category.
I hope this will help.
Rgds,
Matthieu.
