Hi Morgan,
It's been a while since we've chatted. I'd like to change that. I'm emailing you to introduce myself and let you know 2 things:
# 1 - LookSmart has been growing in 2004. We have beat our earning estimates for 2 quarters in a row and have increased our sponsored search traffic by 400% this year.
# 2 - I am now your direct contact. You can reach me at
rulveling@looksmart.net or (415) 348-7303.
You may not be familiar with some of the changes we've made over the past few months. LookSmart LookListings, our pay-per-click search engine, now offers:
· Keyword-targeting - Select your own keywords and set the CPC you want to pay. The CPC (along with your CTR) determines your placement in search results.
· Improved campaign management tools - We offer a robust API you can deploy to efficiently manage listing content.
· Increased distribution - We are adding new partners like Vivisimo and UC Berkeley, to our existing sites, such as Lycos, InfoSpace (Dogpile, MetaCrawler, Excite), CNET's Search.com, Mamma.com, Cox-Internet.com and Apple's Sherlock.
Email or give me a call at your convenience. I'd love to tell you more about these and other recent developments at LookSmart and discuss how LookListings could benefit you and your clients' businesses.
Also, for the next month, we're offering incentives to welcome back search marketing agencies and customers we've worked with in the past. We can discuss that as well.
Thanks for your time. I'm looking forward to speaking with you,
Rob
