Fast-Growing Archives.com Launches Affiliate Program With 50 Percent Base Commissions

PALO ALTO, CALIF. - May 5, 2010 - Archives.com, the Internet's fastest growing family history website, is pleased to announce the launch of its brand new affiliate program on the Internet's largest third-party affiliate network, Commission Junction (CJ). With the addition of Archives.com to the CJ network, anyone interested in making money online can now easily join CJ and become an affiliate of Archives.com.

With this launch, Archives.com immediately becomes the highest paying family history affiliate program on Commission Junction, with the following great benefits:

• 50 percent Base Commissions - Other family history affiliate programs on CJ start at only 5 percent commissions. Affiliates of Archives.com start at a commission rate that's 10 times higher.
• 30 Day Referral Cookie - Unlike other family history affiliate programs that only give credit for sales generated on the same day as the referral, Archives.com affiliates are paid for all referred visitors that become a member within 30 days.
• Top Affiliates Earn 70 percent - Other family history affiliate programs on CJ share only 25 percent commissions with their top affiliates. Large affiliates on Archives can earn almost three times as much.
• Higher Conversions - An Archives.com membership is priced much lower than other websites, leading to higher conversions for your users who don't want to spend a fortune to get started in family history.
• Dedicated Landing Pages - Archives.com gives aspiring family historians exactly the record-specific information they are looking for, improving conversion and customer satisfaction.

"By now, many of the people who will sign up for other family history websites have already signed-up" says Brian Crane, Affiliate Manager for Archives.com. "By promoting Archives.com, affiliates can offer their visitors a low priced and easy-to-use product that is specifically designed to help people getting started in family history."

In addition to the benefits listed above, Archives.com is also offering two special promotions to commemorate the launch of their Commission Junction affiliate program:
