Q Interactive's entry into the U.K. market is intended to help any
marketer seeking to acquire permission from U.K. online consumers to contact
them with information on their products or services. Companies utilizing the
TrueLeads service span a wide variety of industries, including retail,
consumer packaged goods manufacturers, travel, financial service providers
and health-related companies such as pharmaceutical, over-the-counter and
medical device manufactures. In addition, Q Interactive's new venture will
enable online publishers in both the U.K. and U.S. to better monetize their
U.K. site users and add a new advertising revenue stream that scales with
their Web traffic growth.

Q Interactive's competitive advantage in the marketplace is its
TrueConversion Engine(TM). A proprietary, automated targeting and
optimization system, the TrueConversion Engine creates high advertiser
conversion rates through its use of a unique combination of demographic,
behavioral and transactional data to deliver the right offer to the right
consumer across The Q Network. The system works by creating targeting models
using advanced algorithms to predict both consumer interest in advertising
and propensity to convert and purchase.

This month, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB),
PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the World Advertising Research Centre reported
that the U.K. led Europe with US$5.3 billion (pounds Sterling 2.6 billion) in
total online ad spending in 2007. The report also predicted that spending on
U.K. online advertising will grow to approximately US$8.7 billion (pounds
Sterling 5 billion) in 2012, and will overtake spending on TV advertising in
the U.K. as early as 2009.

"Online lead generation is the most efficient vehicle available to engage
interested consumers and gain explicit permission to begin a meaningful
relationship," said Matt Wise, president and chief executive officer of Q
Interactive. "We are excited to share Q Interactive's ten years of experience
in defining and shaping the growth of online lead generation in the United
States with the rapidly expanding U.K. market."

Q Interactive is an advocate for best practices in online lead
generation, including requiring explicit consumer consent and maintaining
strict privacy policies to protect consumers' personally identifiable
information and other data. The company has been a pioneer in online lead
generation since 1999 and chairs the Interactive Advertising Bureau Lead
Generation Committee, which has issued a series of industry 'best practice'
standards to help educate advertisers and publishers on using the online lead
generation category.
