What is the exact number of affiliate programs on the internet right now?

Hi, just doing some research for work and wanted to kno if any EXPERT knew exactly how many affiliate programs there are on the net, i appreciate these will be rough figures but an informed estimate rather than a guess would be appreciated.

Thanking you.

More than one and less than a bazillion

Have you googled ? And depoends how tightly to affiliate you count it

Does a code on a checkout in a site you can give people count as affiliate or only clickthroughs ?

Question in unanswerable as iut changes constantly
