DELRAY BEACH, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/16/06 -- VSUS Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VSUS)
announced today that the company has signed an affiliate partnership with
Network Hydramedia who handles advertising placements for companies that
offer free or deep-discounted products that are the targets of our new
Blogging and affiliate internet advertising websites.
"We are very excited to have entered into an affiliate partnership
agreement with Network Hydramedia in the US. We are currently exploring
additional opportunities with other well-known companies to enhance our
users experience," stated Mr. Goldberg.
Advertisers are shunning old-line media in favor of the Web. They are
discovering the unique power of blogs. Blogs offer a personal touch in the
media space; small sites have become our guides to a content-saturated
world. As such, their recommendations are highly valued by readers -- which
naturally have made advertisers take notice. In recent months, big-name
companies like Banana Republic and Coca-Cola have for the first time run
campaigns on blogs, in the belief that blog communities often consist of
concentrated numbers of the passionate and influential people all marketers
want to reach. Intel bought its first blog ad in March; now all its ads run
on blogs as well as traditional outlets. We believe that the market for
Internet Blogs and Click-through is in its infancy. With overall Web
advertising expected to grow by 60% to over $23 billion in 2010 (CNN
Money.com, Sept. 8, 2006), it's certain that capital will be invested into
the Blog market. Recently, Fortune 500 companies such as Intel and
Coca-Cola ran advertisements on blogs. "The audience for blogs is the cream
of the crop," says Thom Campbell, head of media strategy for Intel.
Google was the first to monetize blogging in 2002 when it created a system
that allowed anyone with a web-site to run advertisements. The technology,
called AdSense, matched advertisements with a site's content. The site's
owner was paid each time a visitor clicked on a linked advertisement.
AdSense alone is expected to generate sales of $4 billion this year.
According to the online encyclopedia, wikipedia.org, affiliate marketing is
the most cost-effective way to generate online sales. Market statistics
indicate that world-wide total sales generated through the use of
"affiliate networks" was over 5 Billion dollars in 2005 and is expected to
grow between 40-75% this year. While the current most active sectors for
affiliate marketing is in the adult, gambling, and retail industries, more
focus and growth is expected in the mobile phone, finance, and travel
sectors.
Affiliate Marketing is a popular method of promoting web business in which
an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer
provided through his efforts. It is a modern variation of the practice of
paying finder's-fees for the introduction of new clients to a business.
Compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit (pay per
click), registrant (Pay per lead), or a commission for each customer or
sale (Pay per sale), or any combination.
