Relationship Enables G5 to Deliver Measurable Online Advertising
                     Solutions to Local Businesses
BEND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
G5 Search Marketing Inc., a leader in local advertising and
measurement solutions, today announced a strategic alliance with
Google to become an authorized reseller of Google's AdWords(TM)
advertising program. By delivering relevant ads when users search
online for specific products and services, AdWords enables businesses
to use the web to find new customers. Integrating AdWords into the G5
Local Advertising Platform empowers G5 to help local businesses
efficiently tap into the power and reach of the Google AdWords online
advertising platform.

   G5 gives business owners visibility into the precise local
advertising efforts that attract the most profitable customers. As the
$100 billion local advertising industry shifts online, it is
increasingly important to make targeted advertising decisions. G5
gives local businesses a range of options by offering full-service
AdWords account management--from account setup and activation to
maintenance, optimization and, most importantly, measurement.

   "We're very excited to form this strategic alliance with Google,"
said Dan Hobin, CEO of G5 Search Marketing. "Using our platform to
measure off-line conversions from various online advertising programs,
we have consistently seen an impressive rate of return from the Google
AdWords program."

   AdWords is a cost effective, efficient way for businesses of all
sizes to advertise their products and services at exactly the time
their customers are looking for them. Using the cost-per-click (CPC)
model, businesses can select and bid on keywords related to what they
are selling, and pay only when an interested user clicks on their ad.
Advanced targeting options, customizable ads and detailed reporting
enable advertisers to evaluate the benefits and performance of their
cost-per-click advertising efforts. More information is available at
www.adwords.google.com.

   G5 offers local businesses solutions for their advertising efforts
through a robust platform that includes a full online suite of
solutions. Included in this platform is a measurement tool that can
effectively measure the best return on ad spend across any and all
media types.

   "This relationship provides for an exceptionally important
addition to our unique platform," Said Hobin. "We can now offer local
and regional businesses an all-in-one platform that includes not only
AdWords pay-per-click advertising, but also Local Maps Optimization,
Organic Search and, most importantly, measurement for their
advertising across all media."
