CitizenHawk Becomes a Top Performing Platinum Publisher within the LinkShare Affiliate Network

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
CitizenHawk, Inc., a leading provider of digital brand management solutions that
enable online companies around the globe to recover domains from cybersquatters
and typosquatters, as well as monitor, protect and enforce proper use of their
online brands, has quickly become one of the top performing publishers within
the LinkShare affiliate network. Since partnering with LinkShare less than a
year ago, CitizenHawk has recovered close to 1,000 misspelled domains for their
clients, leading to $3 million in recovered revenue. They have also been awarded
Platinum Publisher status, an honor attained by publishers who achieve $10,000
in commissions for three consecutive months, and who work ethically by adhering
to LinkShare`s network quality standards. As CitizenHawk`s list of partners
grows within the LinkShare network, they project recovering up to $15 million in
lost revenue for LinkShare advertisers in 2009.

"Congratulations to CitizenHawk on their success," said Kelli Beougher, Senior
Vice President, LinkShare Corporation. "As a global ecommerce company, LinkShare
seeks to partner with companies that are making a difference to both the present
and future of online commerce. We value our partnership with CitizenHawk. They
are a valued member of our network of innovative companies providing
performance-based solutions that help advertisers meet their online marketing
goals."

As a non-traditional publisher within LinkShare`s affiliate network, CitizenHawk
works closely with LinkShare`s Account Development team to approach and partner
with advertisers within the network. Once they are joined to an advertiser`s
program, CitizenHawk drives traffic by recovering the brand holder`s misspelled
domain names, and redirecting the traffic to their home page.

With up to 20% of all hand-typed URLs being misspelled, a large market has
emerged for cybersquatting and typosquatting. These practices exploit and
monetize accidental traffic at the brand holder`s expense - ultimately costing
brand holders millions of dollars each year in lost revenues. Each year,
CitizenHawk successfully reclaims millions of dollars for online companies in
revenue lost through accidental traffic being monetized by fraudulent domain
holders.

"CitizenHawk is excited to have achieved such success in our first year with
LinkShare," said Dave Duckwitz, Chief Executive Officer at CitizenHawk. "An
early adopter, LinkShare understands the threat that cybersquatting and
typosquatting present to their clients, and values our ability to combat these
fraudulent practices. We are proud to offer them a solution that helps maintain
their network`s integrity and protects their clients` brands from fraud and
misuse."
