eBay Adds An Affiliate Program Provider
Auction giant eBay launched a new pay-for-performance affiliate
program using Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Commission Junction’s network and
technology, adding another provider to its mix.
The company has been working with Microsoft’s bCentral, and will continue that relationship.
The eBay Web site affiliate area now says: “Every time one of your site’s
visitors clicks on the eBay link, then registers at eBay, you get $4.00!”
The new affiliate marketing program will allow eBay to advertise on thousands of Web
sites in the Commission Junction network on a pay-for-performance basis.
“eBay is focusing its online marketing and advertising on initiatives that
truly drive results,” said Matt Lawrence, eBay’s manager of business
development said in a statement. The “proprietary tracking and reporting technology, full-service
account management, global reach and quantifiable, proven ROI were all
important factors in our decision to select Commission Junction.”
eBay quietly launched the program on March 3, and claims to have acquired
more than 11,000 affiliates. eBay’s subsidiary company, Half.com, already had
an affiliate program with privately held Commission Junction that boasts
16,000 affiliates.
