LONDON and PARIS, May 20 /PRNewswire/ --     ePages and the European shopping portal LeGuide.com now cooperate to
offer Europe's online merchants even better marketing opportunities. With
over 40,000 merchants and more than 130 million products, LeGuide.com is the
largest shopping portal in Europe. In the United Kingdom, LeGuide.com lists
over 23 million products and 3,500 online merchants.

Starting immediately, ePages is offering a seamless and easy access to
the local shopping portals of the French market leader in 11 European
countries and in 6 languages, for instance Webmarchand.com in France,
Mercamania.es in Spain and Gooster.de in Germany.

With ePages and LeGuide.com, online merchants in the United Kingdom will
receive the free-of-charge connection to three portals in one go: to the
product search engines Antag.co.uk and Gooster.co.uk as well as to the
e-commerce directory Pricesavvy.co.uk. "We're pleased to have won
LeGuide.com, one of the largest and most innovative shopping portals in
Europe, as a partner. This way, we offer a strong online presence to online
shop merchants positioned on ePages and also the opportunity to offer their
products to an even wider market," says Wilfried Beeck, CEO of ePages.

This new cooperation allows online merchants a simple entry into new
European markets and offers an increased visibility on the most diverse
portals and partner sites. Targeting customers is thus more precise and new
customer groups can be developed: Merchants list their products - from
electronics to gifts and flowers - on the portals of LeGuide.com free of
charge and without time constraints. In turn, consumers can obtain
comprehensive information about the online merchants and their products
allowing them to make sound purchasing decisions.

Corinne Lejbowicz, CEO of the LeGuide.com Group: "Our company is pursuing
a strong expansion course. And with ePages, we are excited to have gained a
strong partner that cooperates with the leading hosting providers in all of
Europe. Merchants are thus able to ensure the visibility of their products
Europe-wide even more simply."
