ViraDyne is an affiliate marketing company that compensates people for spreading the word about its customers' products and services. It has contracted with Link180, an internet media company, to provide users who set Link180 as their homepage in exchange for a flat monthly fee per user. ViraDyne shares these fees with independent affiliates who meet criteria and the more successful an affiliate is at promoting Link180, the more financial rewards they will receive through referral rewards, generational bonuses, infinity bonuses, and bonus pools. Ten percent of an affiliate's total monthly earnings are donated to charity.
