Tuesday, June 13, 2006
Internet Real Estate Company Partners with Online Community Syndicated Content
Provider to Add Depth and Substance to its Premium Properties
HOUSTON, June 13, 2006 - Internet REIT (iREIT), a leading supplier of high-value
Internet traffic to advertisers, today announced that it has partnered with Associated
Content, a leading community of user-generated content producers, to provide relevant,
high-quality, original content to Internet users across multiple iREIT sites. Under the
terms of the agreement, Associated Content will provide content for many of iREIT's premium
sites, including Netster.com, Consulting.com, HispanoMundo.com, MovieClips.com, MutualFunds.com,
and VietnamWar.com.
"iREIT continues to improve our premium domain properties to deliver high-value content to
users," said Bob Martin, chief executive officer of iREIT. "Associated Content allows us to
quickly enhance the information available on many of our sites without having to generate
this unique content in-house, which gives us significant leverage as we continue our rapid
growth. We look forward to working with Associated Content to provide relevant information
on a wide variety of topics to our site visitors."
Associated Content is transforming the user-generated content model by paying its quickly-growing
online community of Content Producers for original audio, video and text and publishing this
content across its partner sites, as well as its own central property www.associatedcontent.com.
With its innovative approach and an interactive community of thousands of talented community
members, Associated Content is the leading provider of diverse, original and comprehensive
content that adds depth, substance and personalities to Web sites.
"While the concept of 'user-generated content' has generated significant buzz, very few people
have found a way to monetize this content or ensure consistent quality," said Luke Beatty,
chief executive officer of Associated Content. "Because Associated Content provides its
community members with incentives and excellent exposure, we are able to provide professional,
high-quality content to companies such as iREIT that need a scalable model for developing sites
with unique, viral content on limitless topics."
