Local.com® and SuperMedia Renew and Expand Local Advertising Distribution Agreement

Local.com Corporation (NASDAQ:LOCM), a leading local search site and network, and SuperMedia LLC, home to Superpages.com®, today announced an expanded local advertising distribution agreement.

Under the new agreement, SuperMedia’s performance and subscription advertisers will receive preferred placement on www.local.com. The expanded agreement also includes distribution of enhanced ads and content from Superpages.com advertisers, including ratings and reviews, links to local business profile pages and videos. The expanded agreement is expected to increase the monetization of Local.com search traffic by providing an increased number of Superpages.com’s advertiser listings in response to search requests on Local.com and its distribution network. Revenue is generated when consumers connect with advertisers by clicking on their listing or calling their businesses.

“We are pleased to renew and expand our agreement with Local.com,” said Robyn Rose, vice president of product management at SuperMedia. “The agreement expands our distribution, allowing us to extend our advertisers’ content and deliver more leads to many of our local and national advertisers.”

“We are very happy to continue our successful relationship with SuperMedia,” said Rick Szatkowski, general manager, network properties and sales and advertiser services for Local.com. “This expanded agreement demonstrates Local.com's commitment to providing value to our users by offering relevant local business content, while increasing return on advertising investment to our partners' advertisers by placing their targeted ads in front of tens of millions of consumers on the Local.com site and network.”
