AltaVista to Distribute Search Engine

AltaVista announced today that it will be distributing its search engine to "Affiliate Sites" and rewarding them with 3 cents per click through to the giant portal. This is all part of AltaVista's new "Affiliate Network" program which hopes to attract owners of personal homepages that demonstrate they are functional and updated on a regular basis. In addition to search services, members will also have access to stock quotes and language translation, as well as reports detailing total number of visitors and online advertising click-through rates.
