Go2Net Enters Internet's Top 10 Properties
PR Newswire, Tuesday, July 20, 1999 at 12:12
Go2Net Network Reach Increases 20 Percent From May-June
SEATTLE, July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Go2Net, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNET), a network of
branded, technology- and community-driven Web sites, today announced that the
Go2Net Network's reach grew by approximately 20 percent from May through June
of this year, facilitating Go2Net's first entry into the Top 10 Digital
Media/Web Properties, as measured by Media Metrix. The measurement firm
ranked the Go2Net Network number 9 in reach among home/work users in June,
compared to a number 15 ranking in May. This growth rate reflects a
month-to-month increase in use on the Go2Net Network's existing properties
during a time period in which no acquisitions were consolidated. Since
January, the Go2Net Network has extended its reach by more than 91 percent,
making it the fastest growing property among the Internet's top
20 destinations.
"Several months ago, we set a company goal of becoming a Top 10 property
by the end of calendar year 1999," said Russell C. Horowitz, Go2Net chief
executive officer. "We're very pleased to have reached this milestone well
ahead of schedule, but there remains a great deal of work ahead. To that end,
we'll continue to aggressively grow the Go2Net Network through select
acquisitions and other business relationships, both to enhance our existing
properties and enter strategic new categories." |
