go2’s Mobile Local Search Directory Reports Record Traffic

go2’s Award-Winning Mobile, Local Search, Directory and Movie Guide Websites handled over 24 million unique mobile phone local search sessions in 2005 in the U.S., up 51 percent from 2004

Irvine, Calif.  – Feb. 21, 2006 – go2 Directory Systems (www.go2.com), a leading provider of local search and movie guide information over mobile devices in the U.S., announced today that visits to its mobile, local search websites increased 51 percent in 2005 to more than 24.2 million unique user sessions, up from 15.9 million in 2004.  During 2005, go2’s mobile websites, which include Yellow Page, local search and other local information, delivered more than 210 million page views of local information, up 37 percent from over 150 million in 2004.   

“With more than 210 million mobile, local search page views in 2005, go2 continues to be one of the most popular mobile websites in the U.S. and a leading mobile, local search directory and movie guide,” said <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Lee Hancock, CEO and founder of go2. “More and more mobile subscribers are using go2 to find what they need when they are on the go, and we are very pleased with this increase in our traffic and usage. Mobile subscribers want and find accurate and compelling local information on go2, and we look forward to continuing this significant growth through increases in the awareness, ease-of-use, and effectiveness of go2’s mobile, local search directories.”

The most popular searches in the go2 Directory in 2005 are a clear reflection of the most typical of categories almost anyone would search for when on-the-go:  movies, restaurants, accommodations and other travel-related searches.            

"The popularity of using a mobile phone to search for local information and services continues to grow in North America, as demonstrated by go2's 2005 traffic numbers," said Linda Barrabee, senior analyst for the Wireless/Mobile United States Decision Service of Yankee Group. "The key elements for mobile local search will continue to be ease of use, with limited click-throughs and a friendly user-interface."

Launched in 1999 as the world’s first mobile Yellow Page Directory, go2 is now one of the most widely used mobile, local search directories in the United States. With eleven different, category-specific directories available today, including go2 Business, go2 Dining, go2 Movies and go2 Shopping, the go2 network of local search directories has one-of-a kind, multi-category placement on the wireless Web menus of most major wireless carriers. This unique, multi-directory approach provides tremendous flexibility to wireless carriers to make it easier for their subscribers to quickly find the local information they are looking for.

go2 also served more than 50 million ad impressions in 2005, many for marquee advertisers such as ABC, American Express, Jamdat, ProFlowers.com, Progressive Insurance, the U.S. Navy, Volkswagon and many others. Click-through rates for mobile advertising on go2 are significantly higher than click-through rates for online advertising, in part based on go2’s ability to target advertising by both location and directory search category.

Samsung uses Enpocket Marketing Engine to boost mobile content downloads
Response rates from MMS game promotion outperform traditional media

February 8, 2006-Enpocket (www.enpocket.com), the global mobile media company, has enabled Samsung Mobile to promote mobile content to Samsung Fun Club members via MMS, creating a rich new marketing channel for the brand.  The first MMS campaign achieved response rates of over 15% and a conversion rate of 2%, which offers quantitative proof that mobile marketing using rich media can dramatically outperform traditional direct marketing channels.

The exclusive MMS promotion gave recipients a preview of iPlay’s widely acclaimed ‘Skipping Stone’ mobile game, and then the chance to instantly download a free demo using a WAP (mobile internet) link embedded in the message.  Once respondents had trialled the free demo they could then go on to buy the full game from a dedicated WAP site.

Samsung used the Enpocket Marketing Engine to create, deliver and measure the program across all major mobile networks.

“Rich mobile marketing has proven itself as a highly effective way of driving download traffic and keeping Fun Club members informed of the latest content,” said Martin Kolek, Content Manager, Samsung Mobile.  “After the success of the ‘Skipping Stone’ campaign we are looking into other ways that mobile marketing can enable consumers to get more from our multimedia handsets.”

“Conversion rates are more immediate and more dramatic when brands market to customers on the same device where mobile content is downloaded and consumed,” said <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Mike Baker, President and CEO, Enpocket.  “The Enpocket Marketing Engine is delivering end-to-end mobile marketing in any format, enabling consumers to discover content designed specifically for them.”

The Enpocket Marketing Engine is used by brands around the world who are serious about mobile and require advanced technology and execution excellence, including Vodafone, Sprint, Airtel, MasterCard, Chrysalis and Pepsi.

M:Metrics Reports That in Battle of Portals Yahoo! Has Early Lead in Mobile Domain<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

6.7 percent of mobile subscribers access Yahoo! branded services compared with 4.4 percent for second- place AOL

SEATTLE—January 30, 2006—M:Metrics, the mobile market authority, has found that Yahoo! is the most popular mobile content brand. During the quarter ended December 2005 12.8 million U.S. mobile subscribers accessed Yahoo’s services in an average month – 4 million more than second-place AOL. MSN and Google follow, with about 7 million subscribers accessing their mobile offerings each month during the fourth quarter.

AOL owes its second-place position to its strength in mobile instant messaging (IM).  About 89 percent of its mobile reach is comprised of users of AIM service. Yahoo! users are more likely to access other services, such as news, maps and search in addition to Yahoo IM, which is used by 73 percent of those who used Yahoo! branded services. 

“AOL owes its strong position in the mobile domain to its ability to provide seamless access to AIM buddy lists on handsets through an elegantly designed service and its strong relationships with mobile carriers,” observed Mark Donovan, vice president, products and senior analyst. “Its challenge is to demonstrate that it can use AIM as the foundation to engage users with a broader base of services, much as it is seeking to do on the desktop by opening access to its portal and e-mail services and linking these with AIM.”

ESPN is the most popular source for news among mobile content users, claiming 4.9 million unique users in an average month during the fourth quarter. Interestingly, Yahoo! is on par with CNN as a source of news on the Wireless Web with about 4.5 million subscribers visiting each property on a monthly basis. The Weather Channel is the top source for weather, and Yahoo!, which places second in the Weather category, has twice the audience of Accuweather or Google.

In the bourgeoning market segment of mobile search, Google has extended its dominance on the Web to mobile, but only narrowly, with Yahoo! coming in a close second among the 8.9 million people who used mobile search in December. 

Conversely, in the area of maps and directories, Yahoo edges Google and Mapquest, but by a slim margin. 

“Although these are early days in mobile media, the aggressive efforts
in mobile by Yahoo! and AOL are paying off,” said Donovan. “But it is a
close race, and as traditional media brands put more muscle into their
mobile businesses, we expect that the market will shift.”

M:Metrics surveys 12,000 to14,000 U.S. mobile subscribers monthly to report on the consumption of mobile content and applications and benchmark the performance of carrier, device manufacturers, mobile content publishers and technology providers. The following are the results of its December Benchmark Survey.

The new campaign marks the first interactive mobile ads for TWCI, a longtime leader in technological innovations for advertisers.  From the information page of the ad, users can click an 800 number which will then initiate a call to the Aruba Tourism information center.  The new ad leverages new technology developed by Third Screen Media and its MADX Publisher solution.

“The advances in mobile technology are answering consumer’s desire for control.  They want the ability to access information whenever and wherever they desire, says Liz Daney, chief media officer at Fitzgerald+CO.  “By aligning the Aruba brand with mobile weather content, we are immediately showcasing the island as a destination in stark contrast to the dreary, cold weather here in the states in February.  And the technology allows consumers to directly access the means to book a trip: relevant, accessible, and measurable all in one.”

“The new Aruba mobile Web campaign is a great example of an agency and client embracing the latest in technology,” said Paul Iaffaldano, executive vice president and general manager, The Weather Channel Media Solutions.  “This product is a part of our continuing commitment to deliver impressions to advertisers in an innovative way while delivering a great experience for the consumer.”

The new mobile advertising product from TWCI and all future TWCI mobile campaigns adhere to the Mobile Marketing Association’s newly released standards for mobile ads.  TWCI participated in the creation of the standards and continues to work with the MMA to encourage industry-wide adoption.
