News & Events Press Releases Commission Junction Powers 47% of Internet Retailer's Top 300 Web Retailers' Affiliate Programs

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – July 29, 2004 – ValueClick, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: VCLK) Commission Junction, a provider of advanced performance marketing solutions, powers the affiliate marketing networks of 47% of Internet Retailer's Top 300 Web retailers who reported having affiliate programs - more than any other provider - making it the preferred performance marketing solution for the online retailing industry. Among the list of top retailers, Commission Junction powers the affiliate programs of many well-known brand names such as Circuit City and Staples.

Performance marketing has proven to be highly cost effective in driving online revenue. As a result, affiliate marketing has been widely adopted by the online retailing industry with 175 of the 300 top retailers running affiliate programs either through networks like Commission Junction or in-house. With the pay-for-performance model, retailers only pay for the results their ads generate, which reduces risk and creates an efficient and profitable marketing channel that produces measurable results.

"Performance marketing has grown up alongside the online retailing industry, and the fact that the majority of top retailers work with Commission Junction is a testament to our leadership position in affiliate marketing and the value that we provide our customers," said Jeff Pullen, general manager of Commission Junction. "Driving results is a mutual goal as both industries continue to grow, and Commission Junction remains committed to providing online retailers with advanced solutions and services to help expand their businesses."

A key part of ValueClick's portfolio of performance-based interactive marketing solutions, Commission Junction offers a suite of online marketing solutions that includes affiliate marketing, search marketing, program management and optimized advertising.
