Why AI Isn’t Replacing Affiliate Marketing After All
“AI will make affiliate marketing irrelevant.”
Our new research shows the opposite.
Levanta surveyed 1,000 US consumers to understand how AI is influencing the buying journey. The findings reveal a clear pattern: shoppers use AI tools to explore options, but they continue to rely on human-driven content before making a purchase.
Here is what the data shows:
Less than 10% of shoppers click AI-recommended links
Nearly 87% discover products on social platforms or blogs before purchasing on marketplaces
Review sites rank higher in trust than AI assistants

4. Term Of The Day 📚
Enterprise Value (EV)
📖Definition: A company’s total value to all investors: market cap + debt + preferred stock + minority interest − cash
📊Why it matters: EV lets you compare companies with different debt/cash levels and is the “E” in EV/EBITDA—one of the most common valuation multiples in M&A and private equity.
💡Example: If a company has a $500M market cap, $150M debt, and $50M cash, EV = $500M + $150M − $50M = $600M.
