News Releases

Broomfield, Colo. — (March. 16, 2010) — While Amazon.com moved swiftly last week to halt its business relationships with affiliate marketers in Colorado, ClickBank officials vowed to continue to work with affiliate marketers located in the company's home state despite a new law that taxes affiliates' sales.

Amazon terminated its marketing affiliate program in Colorado just eight days after a new law took effect that will tax affiliate sales. In what was viewed as a surprise move by some of the estimated 4,000 online affiliate marketers in the state, Amazon distributed a letter to affiliates saying the company would immediately cease doing business with them because of the new tax law.

But ClickBank, a global online retailer headquartered in Broomfield, Colo., says it has no intention of terminating relationships with affiliates or discontinuing its longstanding policy of collecting and remitting taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in various domestic and international jurisdictions.

"We will continue to honor our agreements with affiliates in Colorado and all other states in the U.S., and will continue collecting and remitting taxes in compliance with the new laws affecting affiliate sales," said Dush Ramachandran, ClickBank vice president of sales and business development.

ClickBank is privately held with offices in Broomfield, Colorado and Boise, Idaho. Click Sales Inc. is a subsidiary of Keynetics Inc. All products and services offered by Keynetics or its subsidiaries are subject to the ClickBank Legal Notice. For more information, go to www.clickbank.com.

ClickBank Recommends Best Practices for Continuity Program Merchants

BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Jan. 27, 2010 — In the wake of several merchant account closures due to what major credit card companies consider ambiguous continuity program terms, ClickBank, a global online retailer, is offering several guidelines regarding best business practices for continuity program merchants.

Dush Ramachandran, ClickBank vice president of sales and business development, says clarity is key.

"If you are engaged in a practice in which goods or services are provided automatically, and the customer must either pay for the service or specifically decline it in advance of billing, you must be very clear and upfront about it," he said. "This type of practice is not unethical unless buyers do not fully understand the terms or sellers do not accept the consumer's decision to discontinue the service or return the product."

Ramachandran said the need for transparency and a willingness to accept cancellations also hold true for offers with confusing terms or delayed charges. "Credit card companies are no longer going to support merchants engaging in 'free' offers that are not actually free."

Finally, he said, customers must receive goods or services in exchange for a credit card payment and, for any offer, must provide an affirmative consent such as a mandatory "I agree" statement checkbox where the customer acknowledges the terms and conditions of the offer and consents to be entered into a continuity program.

"At ClickBank, we've found that the best way to avoid compliance issues and keep our client's continuity programs up and running without interruption is to be completely transparent with consumers regarding the terms of continuity programs."

ClickBank Selects Payoneer to Provide Global Customer Payments
Payoneer System will allow ClickBank to pay some vendors and affiliates with pre-paid debit cards

BROOMFIELD, Colo. - Jan. 19, 2010 - Global retailer ClickBank has forged a new agreement with Payoneer, a leading online payment solution provider, that will allow ClickBank to pay some clients outside the U.S. with prepaid MasterCard debit cards, ClickBank officials announced.

The new compensation method will better serve ClickBank clients located in countries such as India, Israel and China, where it is more challenging for clients to receive commission payments in their preferred local currency, said Dush Ramachandran, vice president of sales and business development for ClickBank. The Payoneer solution will also allow ClickBank to build brand awareness by customizing the prepaid debit cards with the company's logo and color schemes.

"This capability will be particularly useful to our clients who reside in countries where direct deposit or electronic fund transfers are not currently an option," Ramachandran said. "Until now, the only option for these customers was wire transfer, which is often expensive and requires conversion from U.S. dollars to the local currency."

Using the branded prepaid MasterCard debit cards, ClickBank will be able to automatically transfer payments to a client's account, making the funds available in the customer's local currency in a matter of minutes.

"The Payoneer system will not only help ClickBank strengthen client relationships, it will also decrease the time it takes for them to get paid, increasing ClickBank's overall payment throughput capacity," said Yuval Tal, CEO of Payoneer. "We believe the use of prepaid MasterCard debit cards will greatly improve ClickBank's current payment model in countries where direct deposit or electronic fund transfers are not available."

The announcement of the ClickBank-Payoneer agreement comes on the heels of several related developments in which ClickBank has sought to make business transactions easier for ClickBank affiliate marketers and vendors in the international marketplace. ClickBank's entire web site outside the login has been translated into German, Spanish and French, for example, and ClickBank accepts 13 international currencies including the Euro, the British Pound, and the Swedish and Danish Kroner.

About Payoneer, Inc.
Founded in 2005, Payoneer Inc. provides fully hosted prepaid MasterCard® card solutions for organizations that need to remit payments to remote, dispersed populations worldwide.

Online Retail Leader ClickBank Releases New How-To Videos in Three European Languages, Improves Access for New Clientele

BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Dec. 16, 2009 — ClickBank has introduced instructional videos in German, French and Spanish to show vendors and affiliate marketers how to join ClickBank's billion-dollar online retail network, www.ClickBank.com.

Produced by ClickBank client, Blueprint Information Products, the videos provide step-by-step directions on how to sign up as a ClickBank vendor or affiliate marketer using the site's English forms. ClickBank officials say the project was needed to remove language barriers for clients who do not feel comfortable working in English.

"We've encountered prospective clients that speak rudimentary English but are still challenged by industry-specific terms and technical language on the signup forms," said Dush Ramachandran, vice president of sales, marketing and business development for ClickBank. "The videos address this, making it easy for European vendors and affiliate marketers to join our network, expand their businesses and boost their income."

The new how-to videos follow the company's recent push to expand its platform globally. And with a roster of more than 22,000 affiliate marketers in Europe and roughly 18 percent of ClickBank's 2009 global annual sales having occurred in the European marketplace, Ramachandran said it makes sense to continue to invest in the European market.

In addition to offering content, and now videos, in multiple European languages, ClickBank also accepts several European currencies including the Euro, the British Pound, and the Swedish and Danish Kroner.

Blueprint Information Products co-founder Steve Clayton commented on his company's ability to help further globalize ClickBank's platform saying, "It's a tremendous opportunity to contribute. We were flattered to be asked to use our expertise to help bring new people into the ClickBank community."

Online Retail Giant ClickBank Expands Services to International Markets

BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Oct. 27, 2009 — Serving more than 114 countries on 6 continents, ClickBank announced today that the company has taken great strides toward globalization of its platform in a continued effort to expand services offered to the company's international markets.

ClickBank officials say they've taken a phased approach to this endeavor, starting with the translation of the order form and all customer related material such as receipt emails and customer service content into German, Spanish and French. Having completed that phase last year, the company moved onto phase two-translation of the entire ClickBank site outside the login into the same three languages. Work on this phase has just been finished and the new pages are live as of today.

"More than one third of the 26,000 transactions ClickBank processes each day are made from outside the U.S.," said Dush Ramachandran, ClickBank vice president of sales, marketing and business development. "It is important that we continue to cater to international markets. The globalization of our platform is just one of the many benefits we offer our global vendors and affiliates."

ClickBank Stands by Affiliate Marketers Despite New Tax Laws

BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Aug. 10, 2009 — ClickBank officials will continue to work with affiliate marketers in states that are enacting new laws to tax the marketers' sales, while Amazon and Overstock.com, among others, have been moving swiftly to halt their business relationships with affiliate marketers in various states because of the new tax implications.

In late June, Amazon terminated its marketing affiliate program in North Carolina after a new law took effect that will tax affiliate sales, and on July 1, Overstock.com notified affiliates in Hawaii, North Carolina and Rhode Island that it would immediately cease doing business with them because of similar new tax laws.

But ClickBank, a major online retailer, says it has no intention of terminating relationships with affiliates in certain locations or discontinuing its longstanding policy of collecting and remitting taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in various domestic and international jurisdictions.

"We will continue to honor sales agreements with affiliates in the U.S. and abroad, despite new taxes that are being levied against them for sales and marketing efforts," said Dush Ramachandran, vice president of sales, marketing and business development for ClickBank.

"One of the benefits of being a ClickBank affiliate is that you can operate wherever you live," said Ramachandran. "We don't want to place limits on that now. Our affiliates deserve the opportunity to earn income regardless of where they live, and ClickBank will continue to support them in their efforts to do so."

New state tax laws aim to collect sales tax revenues from affiliates whose marketing activities lead to ecommerce sales. The key issue is whether the affiliates have a physical presence in a state that taxes ecommerce activities. The state of New York was the first to enact such tax laws, and more states are following suit.

ClickBank Approaches $1.3 billion in Payouts Thousands of high-quality digital products, exceptional customer service and on-time payments have attracted top vendors and affiliate marketers since 1998

Broomfield, Colo. – June 30, 2009 – Affiliate marketing leader ClickBank said today that the company is nearing the $1.3 billion mark in payouts to its vendors and affiliates.

Established in 1998, ClickBank provides a safe online marketplace for people who want to sell or market products. Revenue is generated for both the product vendor and the marketing affiliate through a pay-for-performance revenue sharing model. And, at a rate of one sale every 2-3 seconds, ClickBank clients are making money—lots of money. “ClickBank’s secure platform and fraud protection help online businesses focus on what’s important – reaching customers,” said affiliate marketer Russell Brunson.

Brunson is one of ClickBank’s more than 100,000 active affiliates who have built successful ebusinesses by promoting and selling the digital products and services available at ClickBank.com. The site features thousands of high-quality products that continually demonstrate high conversion rates.

ClickBank CEO Brad Wiskirchen said the combination of a large affiliate network, diverse range of products, reliable ecommerce platform, and ability to safely process 26,000 transactions a day makes ClickBank a powerful third-party monetization engine. “Nobody in the market has been able to match or replicate our model,” he said. “What’s more,” said Wiskirchen, “we pay our clients on time. That’s very important to them. We listen and respond to their needs.”

Michael Webb of TheRomantic.com attests to this, saying, “In the eight years I've been with ClickBank, I've never had a late payment and my emails are always responded to promptly and professionally.”
