WebVisible Partnership With American Classifieds Provides Powerful Internet Marketing to Local Advertisers(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IRVINE, CA, October 7 / MARKET WIRE/ -- WebVisible, Inc., a worldwide leader in local online advertising, today announced its partnership with American Classifieds to bring the advantages of search engine marketing campaigns to more local businesses through the American Classifieds network of more than 80 independently operated papers and Internet properties across the nation. Offered through the American Classifieds' AmazingMedia division, the AmazingClicks program is a powerful online advertising product that helps local businesses attract new customers and more effectively compete with larger organizations by enabling them to be found on search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN and Ask. "As a clear leader in the free classifieds market, American Classifieds is committed to pioneering new ways to enrich our customers' experience and bring additional value to our services," said Bob Christensen, chief executive officer (CEO) of American Classifieds. "Offering customers the advantages of search engine marketing is a first in the segment, and another example of our innovation and continued dedication to our customers." AmazingClicks is powered by WebVisible's proprietary Geneva software platform, which automatically manages the entire lifecycle of order management, deployment and optimization to ensure the maximum amount of exposure for each individual merchant. Advertisers determine if their ads run locally, regionally or nationally. They can also easily customize their campaigns to direct traffic to current promotions, sales events or other initiatives. WebVisible provides American Classifieds customers with comprehensive tracking and a Web-based reporting site that enables them to easily monitor the results and effectiveness of their online marketing campaigns. And, with 59% of small businesses still lacking a Web site (Warrillow, 2008) and even fewer engaging in online advertising, AmazingClicks offers the option of customized 'landing' Web pages to coincide with and maximize the effectiveness of their marketing program. "American Classifieds is an established leader in online classified and display advertising. We're excited about the opportunity to extend their product suite with scalable technology and expert creative services that will bring their customers the 'best in breed' of search engine marketing," said Kirsten Mangers, CEO of WebVisible. "Through our partnership, American Classifieds and their customers will generate more business and strengthen the local economies in their markets." The initial roll-out of the program started in mid-summer. To date nearly 400 American Classifieds representatives across more than 80 markets have been trained.
