MojoPages.com Embarks Upon Second Year in Good Company

SAN DIEGO, April 30 PRNewswire — MojoPages.com (http://www.mojopages.com), a local search Website that ranks businesses according to reviews and ratings from friends, family and neighbors, gains further momentum securing lucrative partnerships and significant traction one year after launch. In the highly competitive local search space, where total revenue is estimated to reach $15 billion by 2012, MojoPages recently celebrated multiple company milestones, including a one-year anniversary, more than 1 million monthly local searches, and a 1,800 percent growth rate in traffic in the past four months.

"We've seen our fair share of successes, but this is a marathon not a sprint," said MojoPages Founder and CEO Jon Carder. "I am pleased with our progress after just one year and have high expectations for significant growth in the near future. We're on track to earn millions in revenue, attract tens of millions of users and be profitable within the next 12 to 18 months."

MojoPages continues to capture attention and market share by tactically forging deals with major players in the local search space, including Idearc Media's Superpages.com(R) (http://www.superpages.com/), a local search expert, ServiceMaster, the nation's largest Yellow Pages advertiser, ServiceMagic.com, the nation's leading online home services marketplace that's helped millions of homeowners find prescreened and customer-rated home service professionals.

Additionally, MojoPages recently launched a proprietary self-serve pay-per-click engine that enables businesses to advertise on a performance basis for as little as $0.20 a click and a small $9.95 deposit. The company also introduced its Facebook application, with a second version forthcoming.

The plethora of Web 2.0 features incorporated into the Website has also greatly contributed to MojoPages' growth and burgeoning popularity. The social networking aspect of the site has clearly benefited from these features and the Website's growing base of passionate users have been instrumental in helping MojoPages gain a better understanding of what is working well and where improvements can be made. Based on this user feedback, MojoPages developed a number of promising features. 'Ask Friends' (http://www.mojopages.com/ask-friends) enables members to request reviews they can trust, from the people they trust, like family, friends and neighbors. 'Groups' (http://www.mojopages.com/group-home) offer members of offline groups the ability to connect in an online environment where they can share business reviews, photos, documents, messages and even a calendar for events. 'Coupons' (http://www.mojopages.com/coupon-finder) for tens of thousands of local businesses across the country have been integrated into the search results on MojoPages.com due to a partnership with Valpak.

"We realize this is a competitive and complex space," said Carder. "Many of our competitors have excelled in specific areas, but MojoPages recognizes that sustained success in this industry requires a multi-pronged commitment to community, innovative technologies and a fiscally responsible business model. We're encouraged by our traction to date and excited about the opportunity to improve the local search experience."
