PROFILE |
 |
Turning clicks into commerce is how LinkShare is grabbing market share. The company operates The LinkShare Network, a performance-based online marketing system. Its clients -- including retailers L.L. Bean, OfficeMax, and Borders Group -- market their products through promotional links placed on affiliate Web sites, which are paid when visitors follow the links to make purchases. LinkShare charges its clients based on volume of traffic and purchases made. The company also licenses its software to third parties. Chairman and CEO Stephen Messer and his sister, Heidi (president), founded the company in 1996 and together own nearly 50%. Venture capital firm Internet Capital Group owns about 40%.
