Dex Web Clicks(TM) Offers Guaranteed Search Engine Clicks for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Small Businesses Can Buy Professionally Designed Websites With Guaranteed Leads and Other Web Marketing Features

DENVER, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Yellow Pages and Internet directory publisher Dex Media (NYSE: DEX) has introduced a new service that provides small and medium-sized businesses with fixed-price packages of guaranteed clicks from more than 30 Internet search engines and portals, including Google, Amazon and Yahoo.

The new service, Dex Web Clicks(TM), also includes website design, hosting and management with options for handling credit card transactions and e-commerce capabilities. Introduction of the new service follows successful trials of Dex Web Clicks in Seattle and Omaha.

Website-plus-clicks options are available for as little as $99.95 a month. Clicks-only packages start at $70 per month.

"We've given small businesses the ability to market themselves on the web like Fortune 500 companies," said Simon Greenman, Dex's vice president for Internet. "The Internet has become a powerful marketing tool, but many small and medium-sized businesses haven't been able to take advantage of it until now. Dex Web Clicks provides a practical, affordable way for these companies to both have professionally designed websites and drive guaranteed traffic to them."

Small and medium-sized businesses often lack the time and expertise to develop a professional-looking website and to participate in the keyword auctions by the major search engines that can help drive traffic to their website once they have one.

"We've solved those problems," Greenman said. "We provide professionally designed websites for Dex Web Clicks customers, participate in the search- engine keyword auctions for them and provide them a guaranteed number of clicks for a fixed price each month."

Dex Web Clicks is available in three levels of service throughout the 14 Western and Midwestern states where Dex publishes its print and Internet directories:

* "Dex Web Clicks Standard" guarantees 240 search engine clicks per year and includes a custom-designed website of up to three pages, hosting for the site and up to 10 e-mail addresses for $99.95 per month.

* "Dex Web Clicks Plus" guarantees 360 search engine clicks per year and includes a custom-designed website of up to 10 pages, the ability to take credit card payments, up to 50 e-mail addresses and an Online business forms application that gathers information from potential customers for $149.95 per month.

* "Dex Web Clicks Premium" guarantees 600 search engine clicks per year and includes a custom-designed website of up to 10 pages; e-commerce capabilities, including an Online store with Shopping Cart, Buy Now and encryption security features; a product-catalog builder allowing website owners to update their product inventory and pricing themselves; Auction Connector, powered by eBay(R), tying eBay auctions into the company's website; Amazon(R) Store Connector, enabling Dex Web Clicks Premium users to sell related amazon.com(R) products on their sites and receive up to 15 percent of the sale. Online business forms application for $229.95 per month plus a one-time $599 e-commerce setup fee.

In addition, companies can buy additional guaranteed search engine clicks separately for prices ranging from $70 per month for 360 clicks per year to $775 per month for 6,000 clicks per year.

Dex guarantees that the websites of Dex Web Clicks Standard and Dex Web Clicks Plus customers will go live in 30 days and that the websites of Dex Web Clicks Premium customers will go live in 45 days or they receive a free month of service.

All three levels of Dex Web Clicks service include a listing on DexOnline.com that includes a link to the customers' e-mail and website; 24/7 customer support; an easy-to-use website content manager; website reporting that tracks visitors to the site; and domain-name registration.
