VICTORIA, Canada, April 2 /PRNewswire/ --     Neverblue, a premier global lead generation network, announced today that
it has signed an exclusive agreement with Bidz.com (NASDAQ: BIDZ), the
leading online jewelry retailer.

The agreement expands the relationship between the two companies and
names Neverblue the exclusive agency for Bidz.com and Buyz.com worldwide
display advertising. Following the announcement of Neverblue's international
expansion into Western Europe, the deal also makes Neverblue the exclusive

"The Bidz.com and Neverblue relationship is a perfect example of how a
laser-focus on campaign ROI objectives can drive growth and profits for both
the client and the service provider," said Hakan Lindskog, CEO of Neverblue.
"By giving us the opportunity to become their agency of record, Bidz is
giving us the green light to invest aggressively in accelerating profitable
growth for both parties."

Historically, the relationship between the two companies has been strong
thanks to innovative custom creatives, consistently growing display and
search volumes, high quality traffic and profitable results. "We have a great
partnership with Bidz.com," stated Thomas McCarten, Neverblue's Account
