MARKETLINKX DIRECT ANNOUNCES DEPLOYMENT OF NEW EZ CONNEX CONTACT CENTER PLATFORM

Marketlinkx Direct Inc announced today the launch of the EZ Connex Contact
Center Campaign Operations platform which will provide a robust, easy to use
interface for its domestic and offshore facilities. EZ Connex is Marketlinkx
Direct`s propietary data and telephony solution which will allow the company to
efficiently control and manage which customers are contacted by its domestic and
offshore facilities on behalf of the company`s clients and affiliates and
support optimal campaign delivery. With its cutting-edge media based functions
and applications, EZ Connex delivers an unparalleled user experience to all
aspects of the lead generation marketplace. 

The deployment and cost effectiveness of the EZ Connex platform will also enable
Marketlinkx Direct to bring over 400 jobs back to the US from offshore
locations, unlike many US companies which emphasize outsourcing, Marketlinkx
Direct decision to focus on domestic employment reflects its commitment to the
ongoing financial recovery of the US. As part of its development strategy, the
company plans to place these jobs near US Colleges and universities as well as
distressed domestic communities. 

"As our business has expanded over the last few years we need our operations
platform to provide ever increasing functions for our clients, partners and
advisors," said Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Boardmember, Marketlinkx Direct. "We`re
building on our expertise across servers, operating systems and services to
deliver user experiences that enhance optimal campaign delivery on behalf of our
clients and affiliates." 

"One of the main goals of the company`s growth plans for 2009 and beyond is a
proactive emphasis in regards to the quality of our lead generation and related
services for our partners and clients," said Ezell Brown CEO, Marketlinkx
Direct. "In fact, the catalyst for the development of this platform was the
discovery of unscrupulous business practices by one of the contact centers that
Marketlinkx Direct Inc had contracted in India. In 2007, Marketlinkx Direct
learned a valuable lesson when the company was fined by former Missouri State
Attorney General and current Governor Jay Nixon because an India-based contact
center sub-contracted by Marketlinkx Direct violated both its contractual
obligations and US DNC ( Do not Call ) procedures. The deployment of EZ Connex
is designed to ensure that all of our contact center facilities operate at the
highest levels of integrity and efficiency." 

"We are grateful to Governor Nixon for bringing the problem to our attention in
2007 and we are excited that our solution to the problem will also bring jobs
back to America," added CEO Brown. "We take pride in our processes and services
and believe that in order to effectively deliver them, all aspects of our
campaigns must be both transparent and accountable. As such, the EZ Connex
platform is uniquely suited to accomplish that level of accountability
throughout our company." 

Marketlinkx continues to be on the cutting-edge of Lead Generation Services
through the deployment and application of innovative technological and
operational processes such as EZ Connex, helping to ensure Marketlinkx`
pre-eminence in the industry as one of its leading businesses. The company
expects 2009 to be a banner year for growth across all of its divisions and will
continue to implement creative solutions as part of its growth strategies.
