“Red Hat, Inc.(Nasdaq:RHAT), today unveiled its Affiliate
Program–a partnership opportunity that allows small- to
mid-sized businesses to receive two cents for every click-through
to redhat.com.”
“Through the Affiliate Program, owners of smaller Web sites
designed for the open source community can host Red Hat banners and
buttons on their sites. Red Hat will leverage technology from
performance marketing leader Be Free, Inc.(Nasdaq:BFRE), to develop
and manage the program and to compensate affiliates for each
click-through.”
“redhat.com has become one of the most popular stops on the Web
for open source information and solutions,” said Lisa Sullivan,
director of marketing at Red Hat. “The Affiliate Program delivers
the vast resources of Red Hat’s market and technology leadership to
affiliate partners’ viewers. And instead of competing for viewers,
we can share them and stimulate additional online revenue for both
Red Hat and affiliates.”
