Search 123 is the search engine services division of ValueClick US Media, part of ValueClick, Inc. [NASDAQ: VCLK]. Please note, Commission Junction, the leading affiliate marketing platform also is a part of the ValueClick family of companies. We operate our own pay-per-click (PPC) search engine, launched in October 2000, and we provide comprehensive search engine marketing (SEM) solutions for search marketers. Our PPC search engine allows advertisers to bid on keywords for positioning within search results and receive targeted clicks from our network of hundreds of quality traffic partners. Advertisers use our simple, self-service interface to create site titles and descriptions, bid on keywords and manage every aspect of their Search123 account. Our SEM solutions include our paid inclusion product, called PowerInclude and a platform to manage paid search campaigns on other PPC engines including Overture, Google, FindWhat, and others.

Our network is made up of hundreds of high-quality content sites, directories and search engines that generate hundreds of millions of searches and millions of qualified clicks to our advertisers each month. Search 123 listings are distributed across hundreds of high-quality small and medium-sized content sites, directories and search engines. Search 123 does not get a significant amount of distribution from any of the highly-competitive and expensive portals powered by Overture and Google. Most of our advertisers already advertise on the larger paid search platforms and use Search 123 as an incremental source of lower cost, high-quality traffic that allows them to improve their overall return-on-investment (ROI) from pay-per-click search marketing.

I wanted to congratulate you on the new user application. I work with 8-9 search engines every day and, with your new improvements, your competitors have a lot to learn. For me as an advertiser, it's such a relief to work with a good application, it saves me lots of time every day! Your new application is simply a dream come true for a semi-professional search engine advertiser like myself. - Magnus Wester, Search123 Advertiser.
