How to determine consumer satisfaction from an affiliate ?

You could potentially run a survey on your site, or ask via email if you have an email list. I doubt vendors would share that information with you, though some digital product sellers do have this information accessible to affiliates. In other words, you'd have to collect this information manually. However, I think you'd need a ton of traffic and sales to make this data collection worth your time.
I would start by reading data aggregation sites like Amazon reviews, BBB, manufacture website, or related forums/social media and take notes about what customers are saying. This type of information is great to include in your reviews anyway (with the exception of Amazon reviews. They don't like when you take any data from their site, so I wouldn't screenshot or quote anything from there)

I have a WP word site that has been up for awhile
http://selfgrowth-funandeasy.com/
It has been dormant for about three years due to illness in the family –
You could definitely use an old site and follow the training here in WA. There are a few specific things you'd need to do in your case. I checked out your site.
1. Pick a specific niche. WHO is your audience. WHO wants fun and easy self growth? A young entrepreneur? An older lady divorcee? A retired man?
2. You'll need to decide if you wan to move your site to WA. Looks like it's hosted on WordPress.com maybe? If you want to save money on hosting you can move your site to WA, as well as your domain (if you want).
3. Even though your site has been "dormant", brining it back to life is totally possible. Follow the training step by step, making sure to add content regularly.
Let us know if you have any more questions about getting started again Ron!
Actually I do have one big question - and that has to do with the plug ins
On the WP I have to upgrade to ‘Business’ which is a cost factor of over $230 per year to add the Plug Ins
If I transfer the site to WA does that include the ability to add the Plug Ins without any additional cost?
Thanks very much
Ron
Yes, you can add any plugins you want at no additional cost. There are paid plugins you can buy, so those do cost money, but they are not associated with WA. You can also buy an install those with your hosting here, but they are not required to run your business!
