As part of the agreement, the companies will provide prominent links to each other's sites. ''Our venture with ProNetLink is a good strategic fit,'' says Bill Lavner, Vice President of New Media for the Journal of Commerce Publications Group. ''The international trade market is increasingly relying on the Internet to do business. Services such as ProNetLink make getting trade information on the Web easier and more efficient.

Through PIERS.com, any customer can search the database for trade data that enables them to identify new markets, find sources or supply, monitor their competition and uncover new business opportunities. PIERS data and reports are charged online and on a pay-per-view basis, so users pay immediately and only for the information they need.
