Free Forum Network, a network of 17
free-offer sites published by VentureDirect Worldwide, will become
the exclusive free offer store on Senior.com, an online community for people
50 and older.
Under the agreement, offers from the Free Forum will be posted on Senior.com
for its members. In addition, Free Forum will drive traffic to its own sites
from Senior.com using banners, text links, and opt-in e-mail. Financial
arrangements were not disclosed.
The Free Forum is already the exclusive free-offer store on ShopNow.com and provides free offers for
the Excite Free Stuff Shop.

Forum’s reach among the senior market, the company said.

money. And many of the Free Forum categories are areas of interest to them.
