eCriteria is very excited to announce a new Channel
Partnership Program (CPP). The main feature of the program includes a revenue
sharing plan consisting of two attractive elements: a one-time referral fee of
$9.95 per Premium Member referral, and residual income of 20% of all active
paying members. eCriteria charges a base monthly membership fee of $19.95. The
CPP is an extension of the successful Affiliate Program that now will be rolled
up into the CPP.
Potential Channel Partners are companies that provide:
1. Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
2. Small Business (SOHO) Resource Sites
3. Portal and Community Sites
4. Interactive Website Building Sites
5. Webmasters/Developers Provide Outsourcing Services
Channel Partners present eCriteria’s Web database publishing service to their customers,
and website visitors. The new program offers a simple mechanism whereby
referrals are automatically matched up with partners. The link from the partner
site to the main eCriteria website contains a unique Partner ID. If the referral
registers as an eCriteria Premium Member, the partner is connected to the sale.
Channel Partners also have the convenience of reviewing the
success of their eCriteria referrals by using the new Partner Admin area within
the eCriteria website. Partners now see a new “Partners Only” area in their
my eCriteria Control Panel area upon logging in. From here, Partners may
check to see how many referrals they’ve made, a determining factor for
commission income.
In order to become an eCriteria Channel Partner, interested organizations
should register with eCriteria as a Data Author, and check the box labeled “I
wish to become an eCriteria Channel Partner” on the registration form
page.
For reference, here’s how some businesses use eCriteria for their hosted
web database needs:

initiative,” says Dan D. Gutierrez, eCriteria’s founder and CEO. “We’re looking
to significantly expand our user base through strategic relationships with key
