The US division of 1&1 Internet (www.oneandone.com), a provider of web hosting services, announced on November 15, 2004 that it has entered a partnership agreement with Commission Junction (www.cj.com), an online performance marketing company, to create its affiliate referral program. The participants of 1&1 Internet’s referral program sign through the website of Commission Junction. Program participants will receive commissions varying from $2.50 to $80.00 for each referred customer, who buys any of 1&1 Internet’s web hosting products. Sing-up for the program is free of charge.
Andreas Gauger, chairman of the board of directors at 1&1 Internet, said that referrals were an integral part of the company’s ongoing success. He stated that the new program served the dual purposes of encouraging more referral business and rewarding those who recommended 1&1 Internet. Gauger added that it was a win-win situation for all involved and another example of the company’s desire to offer customers innovative products at optimal value.
