WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- eSTARTUP (http://www.estartup.com/), a consultancy and infomediary that assisted Internet startups during the dot-com boom, has begun to sell some of its valuable domain name assets. AffiliateDirectory.com marks one of eSTARTUP's first high-profile sales. The domain name AffiliateDirectory.com is currently on auction through Pool.com's Domain Marketplace. The auction is scheduled to end Wednesday morning, Oct. 5, 2005 (http://www.estartup.com/affiliate-directory.htm).

AffiliateDirectory.com is the perfect descriptive domain name for the lucrative, online affiliate marketing and commission community. As online sales total more than 50 billion dollars a year, savvy retailers are finding affiliate programs a cost-effective way to drive sales. Affiliate directories serve as guides for both merchants and website owners looking to make a connection.

"Obviously, we're pleased at the interest we've seen in AffiliateDirectory.com," said eSTARTUP VP of Marketing Thomas Rogers. "Given the fact that the phrase 'affiliate directory' is widely recognized and used within the affiliate marketing community, we expect the final price for this domain to possibly reach six figures. However, it is the market that will ultimately decide the final price."

eSTARTUP is handling the sale through Pool.com, a recognized leader in domain name backordering and secondary market sales. The sale of AffiliateDirectory.com is expected to conclude Wednesday morning, Oct. 5, 2005. The auction can be viewed at http://www.estartup.com/affiliate-directory.htm .
