Commission Junction Once Again Gains Market Share Among the Internet
Retailer Top 500 Who Use Third-Party Affiliate Marketing Providers
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – June 15, 2009 – Commission
Junction, a division of ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK) and the leading
global provider of affiliate marketing solutions, announced today that
for the fourth consecutive year it is the affiliate marketing provider
of choice for America's largest retail Web sites. Among the retailers
listed in The 2009 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, 62 percent of those
who work with third-party affiliate marketing partners choose Commission
Junction – more than all other affiliate marketing providers combined.
Commission Junction's 62 percent market share reflects a steady growth trend
since last year, when it claimed 53 percent of the Internet Retailer Top 500
market share.
"We provide so many of the top brands in the Internet Retailer Top 500 with
best-in-class affiliate marketing solutions that deliver cost-effective
incremental revenue because of our mix of technology and expertise," said
Kerri Pollard, General Manager of Commission Junction. "The cost-per-acquisition
model of affiliate marketing in which retailers pay only for confirmed sales
is particularly attractive for merchants looking for guaranteed return on
investment."
Commission Junction has had proven success in driving affiliate channel
revenue for many of the vertical industries represented in the Internet
Retailer Top 500, including office supplies, one of the top three growth
categories last year and an industry that saw 114 percent year-over-year
growth in online sales. In contrast, the 47 percent of the Top 500 retailers
in the office supplies category who chose Commission Junction as their
affiliate marketing provider achieved 136 percent year-over-year growth in
online sales last year while the rest of the category experienced a decline
in sales.
Of the ten largest online retailers with third-party affiliate marketing
programs, Staples, Dell, Apple, Sears, Newegg and Best Buy partner with
Commission Junction.
