Viva9.com, premier provider of performance and affiliate marketing technology and services, announced today the launch in February of CommissionMonster Solutions, a world-first, solutions-based platform, allowing ad agencies and brand marketers to tailor their performance marketing strategy to meet their specific needs.

London, United Kingdom January 15, 2008 — Viva9.com, premier provider of performance and affiliate marketing technology and services, announced today the launch in February of CommissionMonster Solutions, a world-first platform allowing ad agencies and brand marketers to take full control of their performance marketing strategy, through a full service solutions-based platform.

Last year, CommissionMonster.co.uk (www.commissionmonster.co.uk) became the first network not to charge affiliates or advertisers sales commissions. Of this latest product launch Shane Murray, CEO of Viva9 said, ‘For many years now we have been analysing the performance market in the UK and globally, and asking advertisers and agencies what key challenges they face. The most common response seems to be that of flexibility and control over affiliate campaigns.

Brand advertisers and the agencies that represent them seek the power to determine where their ads are run, when their ads are run and how much they spend. CommissionMonster Solutions will be the first to market that delivers on this level of control.’

‘This year we have set a strategic goal to be amongst the top 3 networks in the UK. In a very competitive market, the only way forward is to offer a solutions-based product that meets the needs of the marketer. It is through identifying and then meeting these needs with innovative products like CommissionMonster Solutions that we believe we can realise this goal.’

Myriad choices for Web Analytics remain, especially in Europe and UK

Silver Spring, Md January 15, 2008 — CMS Watch, a vendor-independent analyst firm that evaluates content technologies, today rejected the snowball of hype suggesting that Google Analytics and Omniture are the only remaining solid choices for Web Analytics. For mid-sized and larger enterprises in particular, and buyers in the UK and Europe, there are many established vendors who can provide advanced analytics functionality.

This analysis stems from the 2008 edition of the Web Analytics Report, released today by CMS Watch, which evaluates 15 major Web Analytics suppliers based on extensive vendor research, interviews with customers across a range of industry sectors, and hands-on testing of solutions.

“The web analytics marketplace has seen some instability and consolidation — such as ClickTracks and SageMetrics being acquired by larger entities, and Omniture’s imminent acquisition of Visual Sciences — and this has led some to believe that web analytics has become a two-party system,” said Phil Kemelor, lead analyst for the report. “But don’t believe the hype that Google Analytics and Omniture are your only choices, because that’s hardly the case.”

While Omniture is the largest pure-play web analytics firm and Google has brand cachet, CMS Watch research finds that enterprises can select from a broad selection of established vendors that work well in diverse scenarios and can scale as web site traffic grows. Moreover, Microsoft is planning to enter this space later in 2008. “Especially with Microsoft’s looming entrance, the Web Analytics marketplace is far from limited,” Kemelor added.

Leading email marketing service provider adds time saving feature that will ensure consistency across multiple users and campaigns

Lititz, PA January 15, 2008 — Listrak, a leading email marketing solution provider based near Lancaster, PA, announced that it has added the ability for system administrators to lock sections of each template so other users may only edit areas defined by the administrators. This feature allows administrators to ensure that emails sent out by other members of their marketing teams have a consistent look and feel, while making it quicker and easier for users to enter the appropriate content and send out the message to the members of their lists. This feature is especially useful for marketing agencies that are creating templates for their clients as it protects the integrity of the email template, but it is also helpful for any company as it greatly reduces the amount of time needed to train new employees who are not familiar with HTML.

Administrators may create the templates using Listrak’s HTML or WYSIWYG Editor, or they may import the HTML code from another program. The administrators then need to place the opening Editable Content tag and the closing Editable Content tag within the TD tags in the HTML code at the precise location they want the users to be able to edit. Finally, the administrator needs to assign permission rights to the users who can access the template.

To create an email using a locked template, the end user simply selects the template from Listrak’s Template Library. The template will load into Listrak’s WYSIWYG Editor and the HTML Editor, along with the locked sections, will be grayed-out - only the editable sections remain live. Users then enter the content and the appropriate message and profile filter settings and send the email to their lists. All tracking features remain in place. For more information, contact one of Listrak’s email marketing experts today.

The online marketing agency IntegraClick, Inc., with its core subsidiary Clickbooth, has relocated its headquarters to a new location in Sarasota, Fla., allowing for its ultra-growth phase to continue.

Sarasota, FL January 15, 2008 — The online marketing agency IntegraClick, Inc., with its core subsidiary Clickbooth, has relocated its headquarters to a new location in Sarasota, Fla., allowing for its ultra-growth phase to continue, according to founder and CEO John Lemp.
IntegraClick, having grown substantially in a short period of time, has relocated to a facility that will better provide an adequate environment to support its expanding business needs. The new headquarters, located at 301 N. Cattlemen Road in the Class A Gateway building, can accommodate up to 300 people. With extensive expansion both internally and externally taking place throughout the last year, a larger facility was imminent.

“IntegraClick’s growth has been because of our integrity-based business model and recruitment of the most qualified and experienced professionals in the industry,” said Lemp. “We are fortunate to remain headquartered in Sarasota. It is exciting to begin the next phase of expansion in an area that has some of the best professional talent in the world and is more than capable of accommodating our continued growth.”

Going into its sixth year of providing leading services and technologies to the online marketing industry, IntegraClick remains committed to quality and integrity. In a competitive market space, IntegraClick distinguishes itself through its quality service, valued partnerships, leading expertise and advanced technologies.

IntegraClick, Inc. remains at the forefront of performance-based marketing as one of the fastest growing, privately held companies. Performance-based marketing, a relatively no-risk model for advertisers, as a whole has and will continue to grow independent from influences because even if the economy slows, the consumers’ acquired value increases.

Both IntegraClick and Clickbooth can still be reached by the same email addresses and phone numbers.
