The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today
expanded its partner offerings with the addition of a new affiliate program.
The Planet’s affiliate program provides competitive commission rates,
which enable affiliate partners to earn money without having to bear the costs
of owning and managing the customer relationship. Participants will have access
to a dedicated affiliate team focused on making them effective with promotions,
marketing materials and a specialized Web site optimized for affiliate- referred
traffic. An administrative portal designed exclusively for affiliate partners
tracks statistics, including traffic, conversion rates and payouts that are
available at any hour of the day.
In conjunction with the new program,
The Planet also announced a celebratory kick-off promotion for the new program.
For the month of February, the company will pay an additional $1,000 to the
affiliate member who generates the largest volume of referrals. Another $250 has
been designated as a bonus to the member who refers the months largest single
transaction.
For all the same reasons that have lead to The Planet’s
installed base of 22,000 customers and our hosting more than 3.1 million Web
sites, we are confident our customers and affiliate partners will make money by
referring prospects to us, said James P. Treuting, vice president of sales and
operations with The Planet. Word-of-mouth is one of our strongest avenues for
acquiring new business, so our affiliate program is another way we’d like to
thank our customers for the favor.
The company has selected Share-A-Sale
as its affiliate network partner.
