RedLightCenter.com Named Innovative Company of the Year

VANCOUVER — RedLightCenter.com, the 3D online adult virtual sex world, was named Innovative Web Company of the Year at the 2010 XBIZ Awards show.

“The Utherverse team is extremely honored to receive this coveted award,” Utherverse CEO Brian Shuster said. “We’ve worked hard to create an online universe that offers adult companies a one-of-a-kind way to brand themselves to the widest range of consumers found in one place. Our Virtual World Web is the next generation of interactive adult content, and we thank XBIZ for recognizing our passion.”

This category is reserved for Internet-based companies working to change the current face of the online adult industry and how it does business, and RedLightCenter.com and its parent company Utherverse rose to the top of the list for its innovative approach to member attraction, interaction and — most importantly — long-term retention.

“XBIZ sends its warmest congratulations to Utherverse President Zak Zarry, CEO Brian Shuster and their team for their forward-thinking approach to online adult business,” XBIZ Associate Publisher Kristen Kaye said. “RedLightCenter.com offers a unique adult consumer hub with some of the most effective branding tools available, and word on the street says there are more developments to come. The industry looks forward to seeing what’s next!”

Utherverse recently launched a $75/75 percent affiliate payout program that allows webmasters to send traffic to any of the more than 11,000 virtual worlds within its realm — including the revolutionary virtual sex world Red Light Center, which boasts more than 5 million registered users — and choose between a $75-per-join or 75 percent affiliate check payout.
