More News!!!!! VANCOUVER, WASH. (March 18) BUSINESS WIRE -March 18, 1999--Egghead.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:EGGS), a leading Internet-based retailer of personal computers, software and other computer-related products, announced today that more than 10,000 GeoCities members have registered to be affiliates of Egghead.com in the first ten days since GeoCities (Nasdaq:GCTY) announced its newly created "Pages That Pay" program. "We occupy one of two exclusive positions created by GeoCities for computer hardware and software," said Jon Brodeur, Egghead's chief marketing officer. "'Pages That Pay' is giving us the ability to rapidly expand our developing affiliate program due to the fact that GeoCities has more than 3.5 million members." "Pages That Pay" creates a means by which GeoCities members receive a percentage fee for sales resulting from the referral of another member to a merchant site. (See press release www.geocities.com/main/info/company/press/pr030899_PTP.html) "We only pay marketing costs if products are purchased," Brodeur said. "This adds a high degree of efficiency to our marketing program." As part of its Internet shopping site, Egghead (www.egghead.com) operates one of the largest auctions on the Web as well as the SurplusDirect liquidation center. Both potentially will be available to generate sales to GeoCities homesteaders and monthly visitors through "Pages That Pay."
