Company Information
Commission River Inc. was founded in December 2005. Although, up to that point, the primary business interest of the
founders of Telarus had been commercial telecommunications. Many independent agents and clients requested that Telarus put its
award-winning technical staff to work on a program that offered agents more than just business phone services. Over time, the
chorus of requests became so resounding that the founders of Telarus; Adam Edwards and Patrick Oborn, decided it was time to
grow in a new direction using the base of relationship marketing experience gained from commercial telecom sales.
Commission River is an independent, privately held corporation, owned by the same shareholders as Telarus, Inc. The focus
of Commission River is to offer unique, strategic, and complimentary residential-based offerings that the other "big players" in
the online affiliate marketing space have undeserved or missed altogether. Commission River does not add a vendor to it's
portfolio of advertisers unless it can bring something original to the table. This ensures that the publishers and independent
agents who work with us have a strategic advantage when they take these products to market.
Even though Commission River itself is just a few years old, the people behind the scenes have years of experience
building, managing, and supporting online affiliate marketing programs. The director of Commission River, Robert Probst, is a great
example of leadership and integrity in the online affiliate marketing space. With over 5 years of experience at the helm of
other programs, Mr. Probst brings with him the ability to create agent-friendly, vendor-profitable programs that last.
