LinkConnector Adds a Bold New Accent to Its Network with RugsUSA.com

Cary, NC — July 22, 2008 — LinkConnector (http://www.linkconnector.com), a leading Affiliate Marketing Network with progressive solutions for merchants and affiliates, announced today that RugsUSA.com (http://www.rugsusa.com), a veteran online provider of elaborate rugs and home accents, has launched an affiliate marketing program in the LinkConnector Network. Given the high sales volume of the RugsUSA.com website, the company has earned a spot in the Internet Retailer’s Top 500 Guide to Retail Web Sites. LinkConnector’s partnership with RugsUSA.com demonstrates its dedication to providing superior merchant offers for affiliates.

RugsUSA.com is widely known for offering an extensive selection of high quality rugs at competitive prices. The company has been in business since 1998 and has expanded to provide other categories of home accents (beyond rug decor). Their full collection includes elaborate tapestries, lightings, mirrors, and wall clocks. Through their affiliate marketing program, they hope to build strong, long-term relationships with a select group of affiliate partners, especially those with content-oriented sites (such as bloggers). They plan to use the LinkConnector platform to this end, versus going after affiliate masses.

"What attracted us to LinkConnector is their high quality affiliate base. LinkConnector’s zero tolerance fraud policy, backed by their FraudFREE™ suite of technologies, gives us confidence in the integrity of the affiliates we will be working with," said Koorosh Yaraghi of RugsUSA.com. "We also wanted to partner with a network that places a strong emphasis on customer support. LinkConnector’s Merchant Support team has provided us with hands-on service."

Through their LinkConnector Affiliate Program, RugsUSA.com offers its affiliate partners a 5.00% commission on sales, and plans to work closely with top performers to provide rewards tied to their performance. Given RugsUSA.com’s high-end inventory and high sales volume, the potential for affiliates to earn significantly and over the long haul is great. By partnering with RugsUSA.com through LinkConnector, affiliates also benefit from LinkConnector’s advanced reporting and intuitive interface, and powerful Web 2.0 technologies, such as LinkConnector’s new Widget.

The addition of RugsUSA.com to LinkConnector’s merchant base marks the signup of another Internet Retailer Top 500 Merchant, according to the 2007 edition of the Internet Retailer’s Top 500 Guide to Retail Web Sites. As a group, the Top 500 e-retail businesses accounted for a total of $83.6 billion of the nation’s $136.2 billion of retail web, according to the 2007 Edition of the Top 500 Guide.
