PLATINUM PUBLISHER | April 2008



In the affiliate marketing industry there are literally thousands of Publishers who spend many long days getting their Web site and their business model just right. Only a small fraction, however, are hugely successful and meet or exceed their commission goals consistently month after month. Our recently released Platinum Publisher program will help you to identify these successful publishers, allowing you to foster profitable partnerships that can be sustained over time.

Here are the benchmarks we use to use to determine our Platinum Publishers:

• $10,000 in commissions for 3 consecutive months or more
• Currently works ethically in the LinkShare Network and within all network policies
• Currently meets all compliance rules and policies for the Advertisers the Publisher is currently working with

We will be providing Platinum Publishers with additional resources, giving them the opportunity to extend their success in the LinkShare Network. This includes enhanced Publisher support and strategic management from the LinkShare Network Development team, use of the Platinum Publisher logo on their website, easy access to new LinkShare tools, and promotion of their site to LinkShare Advertisers. .

We understand that Advertisers in the LinkShare Network want to work with the most successful Publishers. Platinum Publishers are the best in the business, so we hope that you will proactively foster relationships with these highly successful partners. .

Platinum Publishers will be specifically designated in our new Advertiser interface, which will be rolled out in the upcoming months. In the meantime, for a list of LinkShare Platinum Publishers, please contact your account manager.
