(©BörseGo - http://www.boerse-go.de)

Overture Services, ehemals unter dem Namen GoTo.com bekannt, ist ein Betreiber eines Marktplatzes, der Unternehmen sowie Konsumenten, die im Internet suchen, zu den gewünschten Werbern führt, welche die gesuchten Dienste, Produkte oder Informationen bereit halten. Durch Bezahlung können sich Anbieter und Werbetreibende in den Suchergebnissen höher listen lassen, wodurch ein für eine Suchmaschine unüblicher Umsatzstrom entsteht.

Das Unternehmen hat im abgelaufenen dritten Quartal einen Gewinn je Aktie in Höhe von 16 cents erreicht, 14 cents besser als die Erwartungen.

Der Umsatz konnte gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 189.5 Prozent auf 72.5 Millionen Dollar vergrößert werden. Die Konsensschätzungen lagen bei 64.8 Millionen Dollar.

Das Unternehmen erhöht seine Planzahlen für das vierte Quartal auf 17 cents Gewinn je Aktie (ursprünglich erwartet: 6 cents je Aktie Gewinn) und die Gewinnprognosen für das Geschäftsjahr 2002 auf 45 cents je Aktie (ursprünglich erwartet: 29 cents).

SEARCH ENGINE MAKES PROFIT


Oct 28, 2001 (WENN via COMTEX) -- Advertising-driven search engine Overture
Services Inc. has reported its first-ever quarterly profit, showing that some
dot-com companies may emerge from the internet industry`s slump as true
moneymaking businesses. The Pasadena-based company earned $9 million (GBP6.9
million), reversing a loss of $46.1 million (GBP35.4 million) the same time a
year ago (00). Overture`s revenue nearly tripled to $72.5 million (GBP55.7
million), up from $25 million (GBP19.2 million) a year ago (00). Wall Street had
expected Overture to become profitable in the quarter, but not by such a wide
margin. (SC/WNWCNT/RP)

Searchfrog Develops Explosive Tool For Internet Marketers


SEATTLE, WA, Oct 31, 2001 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Searchfrog.net
(www.searchfrog.net), an internet marketing ASP, announced the release of a
revolutionary tool directed exclusively for internet marketers to manage and
monitor their Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing efforts on sites such as GoTo.com
(now Overture) (NASDAQ: OVER), Findwhat.com (NASDAQ: FWHT) and Sprinks.

"Searchfrog is intended to change the way internet marketers manage their PPC
buys by providing them a more efficient and cost-effective means to view all of
their term or phrase bids in one easy to use spreadsheet," says Brandon
Hartness, President and Director of Marketing. "The website offers an easy to
use interface that allows you to track multiple Search Engines and hundreds of
search terms or phrases."

Searchfrog.net has developed proprietary spidering technology that allows users
to view their positions on Overture, FindWhat.com, and Sprinks and will soon be
expanding their partner list to include many other PPC engines as well. The site
includes an interface that shows you how much you are overbidding per term,
monthly traffic for that term and even lets you email the report to others.
Until now, there has been no tool available to monitor your PPC campaign on PPC
engines. A PPC client has been forced to open the standard PPC search engine and
actually type in each key word one at a time to determine optimal positioning.

Brandon Hartness and Todd Olsen, both with backgrounds in Internet marketing,
developed the tool out of necessity in their own marketing efforts. "It was very
cumbersome to know at any given time the overall status of our PPC campaign
using the tools that were available," says Hartness. "I really did not realize
the value until I was without it for 2 days due to early technical bugs. It was
then that I knew others would also find this an invaluable tool."

Yahoo! Forms Alliance with Overture - Formerly GoTo - to Launch Sponsor Matches Program For Search ResultsYahoo! to Integrate Overture as Its Pay-for-Performance Search Provider Until at Least April 2002


SUNNYVALE & PASADENA, Calif., Nov 13, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Inc.
(Nasdaq: YHOO), a global Internet communications, commerce and media company,
today announced the launch of Yahoo! Sponsor Matches, an enhanced placement
program to give Web sites increased visibility in Yahoo!`s search results.
Yahoo! will introduce the program through an alliance with Overture Services
Inc. (Nasdaq: OVER), formerly GoTo, the leading provider of Pay-For-Performance
search to Web sites across the Internet. Overture will distribute its search
listings product on Yahoo! search results pages until at least April 2002, at
which time Yahoo! will either offer its own Sponsor Matches program
independently or explore extending its agreement with Overture.

The launch of Sponsor Matches builds on one of Yahoo!`s core strengths as a
leading search and directory service. Businesses will be able to reach their
targeted consumers more effectively through enhanced placement in search results
on keywords that are relevant to their business. Under the agreement, Yahoo!`s
search results pages will feature Overture`s top five Pay-For-Performance search
listings submitted by its growing base of 49,000 advertisers. In order to
differentiate between paid and editorial placements within Yahoo!`s search
results, enhanced placement listings will be distinguished in clearly demarcated
sections. The program will begin on November 15, 2001.

"Yahoo! Sponsor Matches is consistent with our strategy to leverage our core
strengths in order to build growing and diverse revenues," said Terry Semel,
chairman and chief executive officer, Yahoo! Inc. "Millions of Internet searches
conducted on Yahoo! each day are commercial in nature, giving businesses
tremendous opportunity to market their products and services through enhanced
placement in our search results.

"Our alliance with Overture gives Yahoo! an immediate opportunity to create the
Sponsor Matches program. Businesses will benefit from the traction and
visibility of Yahoo!`s search and the high quality results and proven cost
effective model of Overture," said Semel.

"The category we`ve built has come a long way in the past few years. We are
excited that Yahoo! has chosen to add Pay-For-Performance listings to its
world-class search offering," said Ted Meisel, president and chief executive
officer, Overture. "We are pleased to enter this mutually beneficial alliance
and look forward to the possibility of extending our agreement with Yahoo!."

The introduction of an enhanced placement search program complements Yahoo!`s
existing successful directory services, Sponsored Sites and Yahoo! Express.
Sponsored Sites is a fee-based service that enables commercial Web sites already
listed in the Yahoo! directory to receive enhanced placement in specific
commercial categories of the directory. Through Yahoo! Express businesses can
pay to expedite the review of their submission for inclusion in the Yahoo!
directory.

The primary benefit of Yahoo!`s search and directory is that its human-built
directory places a user`s search in context. Yahoo! experts appropriately
categorize Web sites into an intuitive organizational structure, effectively
connecting consumers with the demographic, geographical or subject-based
content, services and businesses they need.

Hier was älteres. Goto ist so viel ich weiß eine der häufigst geshorteten Aktien. Darin sind suicher auch die Starken Ausschläge begründet (Shortsqees)
11.09.2001
Goto.com kaufen
INVESTools

Carlton Lutts von INVESTools empfiehlt in seinem "The Cabot Market Letter", Aktien von Goto.com (WKN 923427) zu kaufen.

Lutts führt weiter aus, dass Bannerwerbung und gesponserte Werbung im Internet zu teuer und für die meisten werbenden Firmen zu wenig zielgerichtet seien. Kein Wunder, dass diese Werbemittel enttäuschende Ergebnisse gezeigt hätten und derzeit schrumpften. Goto.com hingegen sei es gelungen, werbende Unternehmen zu vernünftigen Kosten mit interessierten Konsumenten in Kontakt zu bringen. Werbende Firmen kauften Suchbegriffe oder gesuchte Sätze und das höchste Angebot erhalte die beste Platzierung im Suchergebnis des Konsumenten.

Die Ergebnisse dieser Methode seien beeindruckend. So habe Goto.com z.B. mehr als 64 Mio. ausschließliche User. Im 2. Quartal habe Goto.com mehr als 323 Mio. bezahlte Produkteinführungen für seine 45.000 werbenden Firmen (im Vorjahr 37.000) geschaltet. Die Kosten dafür seien relativ niedrig, da sowohl die Kontoanlage, die Angebote und die Verwaltung online erfolgten, und es gebe keine Lagerbestände. Analysten sagen, Internetsuche sei die zweitmeist gebrauchte Anwendung am Internet nach dem E-Mail und wachse wie das Unkraut.

Goto.com sei eines der am schnellsten wachsenden Unternehmen, die er jemals gesehen habe, meint Lutts. Die Umsätze seien von 800.000 US-Dollar 1998 auf 27 Mio. US-Dollar 1999 und 103 Mio. US-Dollar im Jahr 2000 gewachsen. Auch in diesem Jahr erwarte das Management, seinen Umsatz zu verdoppeln und habe bereits für das 1. Halbjahr einen Umsatz von 105 Mio. US-Dollar gemeldet. Goto.com habe 55 Mio. US-Dollar an Barmitteln und weniger als 1 Mio. US-Dollar Schulden. Im Juniquartal habe Goto.com seinen ersten Gewinn von 0,01 US-Dollar/Aktie gemeldet.

Sollte jemand die Aktie noch nicht gekauft haben, meint Lutts, sollte er sich die Seite von Goto.com einmal ansehen, und dann hingehen und Aktien kaufen.

T-Online, One of Europe`s Leading ISPs, Selects Overture -- Formerly GoTo -- as Its Pay-For-Performance Search Provider
Agreement With Leading ISP Significantly Expands Overture`s European Presence and Will Provide T-Online`s Users With Access to Overture`s Relevant Results

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2001-- Overture Services Inc. (Nasdaq: OVER - news), formerly GoTo, the leading provider of Pay-For-Performance search to Web sites across the Internet, today announced it has signed a three-year agreement to provide Pay-For-Performance search results to the German, Austrian and Swiss users of T-Online International AG (Neuer Markt:TOI), one of Europe`s leading Internet Service Providers (ISP) and a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG (XETRA (EUR): DTE).

The agreement will significantly expand Overture`s European presence and marks its entrance into the German marketplace well in advance of its official first quarter 2002 launch in Germany.

Under the agreement, Overture will serve a complete set of its paid German-language search listings for all searches conducted on the T-Online portal site (http://www.t-online.de), which has more than 50 percent reach in the German Internet market (JupiterMMXI, October 2001).

Overture`s German-language search results will be provided by businesses whose offerings are relevant to searchers in the German, Austrian and German-Swiss markets. The implementation will commence in conjunction with Overture`s launch in the German marketplace.

``We are thrilled to announce this agreement with T-Online and to have the opportunity to offer Overture search results to the millions of German-speaking T-Online users,`` said Johannes Larcher, general manager, Overture International.

``This deal represents an extremely important expansion of our Pay-For-Performance network internationally. Just as important, our advertisers in our new German marketplace will benefit from the quality and volume of the traffic that T-Online`s users will generate.``

T-Online has more than 10 million paying customers in five countries. This partnership will provide T-Online`s millions of users in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with access to Overture`s relevant Pay-For-Performance search results.

Overture`s unique Pay-For-Performance model provides quality search offerings to affiliate partners such as T-Online, a high return on investment for its approximately 49,000 advertisers worldwide, and an enhanced search experience for the users of its partners.

In November, Overture opened its German headquarters in Munich and appointed Manfred Klaus as German managing director. Klaus will have responsibility for building Overture`s German marketplace in Europe`s German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and German-Switzerland), building the company`s German-language advertiser base and cultivating distribution partnerships.

Klaus joined Overture from FOCUS Digital AG, one of Germany`s leading Internet media companies, where he led Marketing and Sales as a member of the company`s Executive Board.
