LinkConnector Launches B2B Affiliate Partner Program for Getty Images

Getty Images has selected LinkConnector, an Affiliate Marketing Network, to manage its Affiliate Partner Program and promote its industry-leading website, www.gettyimages.com.

Cary, NC (PRWEB) — August 20, 2007 — LinkConnector (http://www.linkconnector.com/), an Affiliate Marketing Network helping merchants and affiliates increase online revenue, announced today that Getty Images has selected the company to manage its Affiliate Partner Program. LinkConnector will oversee key aspects of the Affiliate Partnership Program for Getty Images, such as campaign setup and promotion, and will provide in-depth tracking, reporting and support for all Getty Images Affiliates. The Getty Images’ Campaign will promote its industry-leading website, www.gettyimages.com.

As the world’s leading creator and distributor of visual content, Getty Images is the first place creative professionals turn to discover, purchase and manage imagery. Getty Images’ partnership with LinkConnector enables the company to optimize its outreach to potential customers using LinkConnector’s suite of technologies, which includes Naked Link Technology® and FraudFREE™ Protection. By leveraging LinkConnector’s Source Checker™, Getty Images has the ability to manage their brand by approving which of the affiliate’s websites are accepted for a given campaign. This technology also allows Getty Images to restrict affiliate promotions in search engines as necessary.

“We are honored that Getty Images selected our Network to manage their Affiliate Program,” said Choots Humphries, LinkConnector Co-President. “The Getty Images Affiliate Program will be able to provide top-quality support and rewards for its affiliates and we are happy to be part of that.”

“Getty Images is using the affiliate model as a new way to partner with a select group of B2B Web sites whose audiences will benefit from the ability to search Getty’s unmatched collections of imagery,” said Tony Berle, Director of Indirect Sales for Getty Images. “We selected LinkConnector because of their innovative and flexible technologies and outstanding client relations.”

Affiliates that join the Getty Images campaign will be provided with code and tools necessary to place and track a text link, banner ad, or search box on their website, or in their email campaigns, and earn a commission on resulting sales. In addition, affiliates that partner with Getty Images will enjoy a Dedicated LinkConnector Affiliate Manager to build a successful partnership.
