SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – October 6, 2003 – Commission Junction is one of the largest ad networks on the Web, serving billions of impressions each month, and facilitating online marketing relationships between thousands of advertisers and publishers. Every year at its annual gathering of clients at Commission Junction University, the company recognizes the advertisers and publishers in its network who have demonstrated the highest level of commitment and achievement in pay-for-performance online marketing, and who reflect the company's core values of people, greatness and innovation. Commission Junction's 2003 Horizon Award winners, named recently in Santa Barbara, are eBay, iPowerWeb, Namespace Strategy Group, Overture, Shoes.com, and Poise Media.

"This year's Horizon Award winners have fully put their energy and support behind pay-per-performance marketing. Each company has been highly effective in maximizing the value of the relationships it builds via Commission Junction, contributing to an ever-increasing number of successful online marketing initiatives that propel the entire field of performance marketing to new heights," said Jeff Pullen, president and CEO of Commission Junction.

Horizon Award - People - The award for People is presented to an advertiser, publisher or relationship that has shown an enthusiastic commitment to pay-for-performance marketing and is dedicated to building a strong community among online marketers. The winners of the People Award are Shoes.com (advertiser), Namespace Strategy Group (publisher), and Overture and iPowerWeb (relationship). The teams at these companies have taught by example the value of establishing strong relationships between advertisers and publishers, and were instrumental in driving change and integrating best practices within their companies.

Horizon Award - Greatness - The award for Greatness is presented to an advertiser or publisher who has had exceptional performance in the Commission Junction network over the previous year. The winner of the Greatness award is publisher Poise Media. An active publisher since March 2001, Poise Media has consistently been among the top five publishers over the past year.

Horizon Award - Innovation - The award for Innovation is presented to an organization dedicated to advancing the online marketing industry with a passion for driving results. A market leader, respected for its vision, values, and practices, this company creates momentum within the industry. The business and its team epitomize progress-building success through the principles of performance. The recipient of the Innovation Award is eBay, which challenged the status quo by being the first to identify best practices for individual distribution and the first to leverage the powerful capabilities of publishers promoting offers in the paid search space. It is through such commitment to excellence that eBay has become one of the largest and most successful affiliate programs in the industry.
