LinkConnector Drives a Growing Percentage of the Internet Retailer's Top 500 Merchants and Closes the Gap with the Big Three

Cary, NC (PRWEB) August 5, 2008 -- LinkConnector (http://www.linkconnector.com/), a leading Affiliate Marketing Network with progressive solutions for merchants and affiliates, announced today that it now powers affiliate marketing programs for 20 merchants from the Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide. This number represents more than a doubling of LinkConnector's market share since December 2007. The Top 500 Guide for 2008 contains the very latest competitive data on the leaders of web-based retailing--a group that accounts for nearly two-thirds of the $200-billion e-retailing industry in the U.S.

With LinkConnector's substantial growth in late 2007 and through June 2008, the company surpasses most affiliate networks and reduces the margin between itself and the three largest affiliate networks--Commission Junction, LinkShare, and Google Affiliate Network. LinkConnector attributes its rapid growth among leading e-retailers primarily to its superior customer support departments, high quality network of affiliates, and its exclusive suite of technologies.

"Over and over we hear from our merchants that LinkConnector's unique approach to customer relations is a driving force in the success of their programs, and that this level of service is lacking in other networks," said Tara McCommons, LinkConnector's Director of Sales. "We have found that this is an often overlooked yet critical component of an affiliate marketing program. Excellent customer service is part of our core business, and the loyalty and referral rates from our merchants and affiliates stand as evidence to this."

As a group, the Top 500 Retailers grew their online sales by 21.6% in 2007 and accounted for a total of $101.7 billion of the nation's $166 billion in online retail sales, according to the Internet Retailer's 2008 Edition of the Top 500 Guide. LinkConnector counts top Internet Retailer names from this list, such as Boot Barn Inc., eCampus, JC Whitney, Peapod, and RugsUSA.com as clients.

LinkConnector's client portfolio also includes notable names such as Getty Images, eHarmony, PRWeb International, and Reunion.com.

Lured by the attractiveness of its culture, its people, its delectable food, and the low cost travel to Nicaragua, Americans have been traveling to this country in Central America since times immemorial. Back in the mid 1800s, Tennessean filibuster, adventurer and mercenary William Walker landed in the coasts of Nicaragua looking for soft adventure travels and in a daring act of bravado declared himself its President shortly afterwards. Even after Walker was ousted from his short-lived seat of power, American influence in Nicaragua remained strong, which is precisely what motivated the rise of Nicaraguan most distinguished nationalist, Augusto Cesar Sandino. Today, Sandinos image is mistaken by that of a communist, which he was not. His ...
