Online publishers face heat over book deal
Online publishers faced criticism this week over a potential conflict
of interest between editorial and advertising. On Sept. 9,
BarnesandNoble.com
launched an Affiliate Network program, under which its 40-plus members are
paid a commission on book sales generated through links from their Web
sites.
Charter members include Time Inc. New Media, USA Today Online, Knight-
Ridder New Media, CNN Interactive and other online publishers.
Analyst Gary Arlen, president of Arlen Communications, said: "This kind
of deal does start to sully the reputation of a separate church and state
in journalism." He said this is just the beginning of online content
providers
being accused of allowing advertising to cross the line separating it from
editorial.
The New York Times Electronic Media Co., which is not part of the affiliate
program, has a separate, similar deal with BarnesandNoble.com. "In order
for us to generate any revenue at all, we have to be a little more flexible
with
our advertising," said Martin Nisenholtz, president of The New York Times
Electronic Media Co.
===============================================================
* Note mention of local netpreneur, Emaginet here:
Two new online promotion services, Emaginet and Netcentives, will launch
in the coming weeks
Emaginet allows users to select what types of "e-centive" promotions
they would like to receive in categories such as computers, travel
and automotive.
Sponsors, which have yet to be announced, must buy Emaginet's server
for $10,000 and pay a portion of transaction fees. Netcentives declined to
disclose details of its network, called ClickRewards, beyond that it plans
to emphasize a model such as frequent-flier miles.
