CONTACT: 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." In addition to offering content in multiple languages, ClickBank has made significant improvements to its payment processing and accepts 13 international currencies including the Euro, the British Pound, and the Swedish and Danish Kroner.

CONTACT: 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. About ClickBank ClickBank is privately held with offices in Broomfield, Colorado and Boise, Idaho.
