Online Business Resource Adds International and Private Company Profiles
In Latest Site Enhancement that Benefits Both Users and Advertisers
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Business.com, the web's most comprehensive business information resource, today announced the addition of private and international company profiles. For the first time, Business Internet users can cut through the clutter of online information and access free public, private and international company profiles in one place. The detailed descriptions of 40,000 private and 14,000 international companies join the site's profiles of 10,000 U.S. public companies that were added in June 2000.
Business.com partnered with Thomson Financial to provide international company profiles from more than 20 countries and with OneSource to provide private company profiles. All company descriptions are updated regularly and can be easily found by entering the company name into Business.com's search box.
"Our users tell us that access to a broad range of company profiles is an invaluable resource in harnessing the Business Internet and we've responded by expanding this area," said Jake Winebaum, Business.com founder and CEO. "Our goal is to be the best resource for business information and we're committed to staying ahead of the curve by offering the most comprehensive information, and offering it first."
The new site features create additional opportunities for advertisers to reach highly targeted business audiences by increasing the deep, vertical content available on the site. Business.com has the ability to deliver advertising campaigns focused on companies, specific industries or job functions. Advertisers can reach both a broad business audience or pinpoint specific users in particular industries or job functions, which allows them to deliver a pre-qualified message. Through the Directory and search engine functionality, Business.com advertisers can reach key decision-makers who have an interest in specific products or services.
Business.com is the most useful resource available for finding credible business information from a single source. The site offers users broad business information as well as specific content about a particular topic, industry or company. Through the Business.com Directory, users can find 64,000 company profiles, 58 industry profiles, more than 400,000 cataloged web sites and news from hundreds of the most reliable sources, including the Financial Times, Dow Jones, Reuters and the Industry Standard. The site's unique search engine allows users to find the precise industry and company information they need without having to sift through non-business clutter. Additional new features and services will be introduced on an ongoing basis to maintain Business.com's position as the premier business information web site.
