Google releases AdWords Editor 4.0
August 18, 2007, 9:11 amAnswers.com seeing lower traffic
August 17, 2007, 10:01 am
Answers Corporation (NASDAQ: ANSW) announced today that, due to a search engine algorithmic adjustment by Google, Answers.com has seen a drop in search engine traffic starting last week. As a result, overall traffic is currently down approximately 28% from levels immediately prior to the change.
"We are working diligently to analyze and address the recent algorithm change," said Bob Rosenschein, CEO. "We will update investors on the financial impact of this development during our upcoming Q2 earnings conference call on August 13."
"The major search engines modify their algorithms all the time," added Mr. Rosenschein. "This change only demonstrates the sound business rationale behind our agreement to purchase Dictionary.com, because it underscores a primary motivation for the deal: to secure a steady source of direct traffic and mitigate our current dependence on search engine algorithms. On a pro forma basis, we expect at least 70% of our total traffic to come from people navigating directly to our Web properties or typing the term 'dictionary' in a search engine. We remain optimistic and look forward to completing this transformative acquisition. As we work to restore normal traffic levels to Answers.com, we are confident that our efforts will result in a stronger and more valuable company."

Search engine Accoona files for IPO
August 17, 2007, 9:53 am
Internet company Accoona Corp. filed Friday for an initial public offering of its common stock. The Jersey City, N.J.-based company said it expects to use proceeds from the offering for research and development, business expansion and general corporate purposes. Accoona may also use a portion of the proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary companies and technologies.
In a preliminary filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Accoona did not disclose the number or expected price range of shares to be offered, but indicated that the proposed maximum offering price would be roughly $80.5 million. The company said the total offering price was estimated solely to calculate the amount of the registration fee and may change.
Accoona has three main lines of business: online-lead generation, an online search engine in the U.S., Europe and China and an e-commerce consumer electronics retail business. The company broke onto the Internet scene in 2004 accompanied by much fanfare. Industry experts wondered if it would prove to be a formidable competitor for Google. However, to date, substantially all of its revenue has come from its e-commerce business in North America, according to the filing. Accoona operates six Internet retail sites offering a wide selection of consumer electronics and home appliances.
For the three months ended March 31, Accoona reported a loss of $14.8 million, compared with a loss of $5.5 million the same period a year earlier. Revenue for the quarter rose to $37.5 million from $23 million the year-ago period. Maxim Group LLC is listed as the sole underwriter for the offering. Accoona plans to list its shares on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "ACNA."
