Epicenter Network Makes Nearly $1 Million In Revenue Payments To DM2 Platform Users During First Half Of 2009
Q2 Payments Increase 58% Over Q1, Reflecting Strong Increase In Numbers of Publishers And Domain Owners Using DM2 to Turn Great Ideas into Traffic-Producing Web SitesLynnwood, Washington -- July 20, 2009 -- Epicenter Network, an emerging leader in the Internet marketing and advertising space, today announced that it paid out over $970,000 in realized advertising income during the first six months of 2009 to entrepreneurs using the company's DM2 free web site development and hosting platform, found at http://dm-2.com. With DM2, domain owners and publishers are able to quickly turn quality Web content into cash by creating sites that attract both visitors and advertisers. After first quarter 2009 total payout of $376,209 to users, DM2 revenue payments grew in the second quarter to $595,320--a 58% increase. Epicenter Network executives attribute the increase to a strong uptick in new site owners to the DM2 network, combined with greater numbers of advertisers interested in the network's visitor base. "Epicenter Network's DM2 is the only platform of its kind to aggressively share revenue with its publishers. The huge amount of income distributed to network participants speaks volumes about the quality of the DM2 site development tools, as well as the attractiveness of the DM2 business model," said Smokey Burns, CEO of DM2 parent company Epicenter Network. "All types of Web entrepreneurs, whether domain owners, site developers, content developers, affiliate marketers or simply someone with a great web site idea, are discovering the ability to realize income through DM2." DM2, a free online service, offers both Web-based site development software and a hosting capability to help domain owners, or anyone with an idea and commitment, establish a quality site. DM2's development process is comprised of three steps: one, a gallery of over 250 category-specific site templates from which the individual makes a selection and adds a unique color scheme; two, customization tools for building a site map and populating the site with photos, text or other material; and three, one-click publishing using DM2's free hosting capability. DM2 generates income for its site partners by matching legitimate advertisers to a site's particular content. A very high majority percentage of the resulting revenue is paid out to the site owner. Income is generated both by click-throughs to advertiser sites, and by display advertising selected by the publisher based on the appropriateness for the site's content. Site publishers are also free to sell their content inventory directly to an advertiser and place those ads on their site.About Epicenter NetworkEpicenter is an emerging leader in the Internet marketing and advertising space.
