Espotting to Continue to Provide Pay-Per-Click Listings to Spray
(Sweden) and Jubii (Denmark) Espotting Media, a leading European
paid listings provider and a wholly owned division of FindWhat.com,
Inc. (NASDAQ:FWHT), today announced it has renewed its agreements
with two major sites in Scandinavia - Spray in Sweden and Jubii in
Denmark, both of which are owned by Lycos. "The renewal of these
deals is testimony to the strength of Espotting's offering to its
distribution partners - both in terms of our product and our
service levels," said Seb Bishop, chief marketing officer of
Espotting/FindWhat.com, Inc. In both deals, Espotting will continue
to provide its Pay-Per-Click listings on the websites' content
pages. Espotting's 'Content Solutions' product places
keyword-driven advertiser listings next to relevant content.
Espotting's product is unique in the market: -- Unlike other
content or contextual advertising programs, Espotting has both an
automated and a human review process. Espotting's dedicated
'Content Editors' work closely with partners, such as Lycos, to
select the keywords that trigger the advertisements which appear
alongside the website's content. The keywords best suited to each
content page are selected, ensuring only the most relevant
advertisements are displayed. -- Listings are fully integrated and
customized to reflect the look and feel of the partner brand.
Espotting has a dedicated design team that creates unique
implementations for each distribution partner. -- Espotting are
experts in content advertising, being the first paid listings
provider to offer a Content Solutions product as early as April
2001. "As pioneers of content advertising, Espotting's experience
and credibility in the market made them our partner of choice,"
said Angie Lopez, Joint Managing Director, Lycos. "By utilizing
Espotting's Pay-Per-Click listings on our content pages, we
continue to provide Spray and Jubii users with relevant information
at their finger-tips, enhancing their user experience." In January
2005, Spray generated more than 112 million page impressions from
more than 3 million unique users and Jubii saw 116 million page
impressions from 2.6 million unique users (Gallup Redmeasure).
