Executive Announces New Point-Based Bidding System to UK Clients and Potential New Partners Godado.co.uk, one of the first European "pay-per-click" search engines and a SearchHound.com, Inc. subsidiary (BERLIN:SHQ), launched a new point system for their Keyword Advertising program. "Pay-per-click" search engines have gained in popularity and proven their effectiveness for delivering targeted customers to Keyword Advertisers' sites. Advertisers with Godado UK now establish a "per click" bid for their Web site's keywords based on a points system instead of ranking their results by the British pound Sterling in order to gain higher placement in the search results. Results will show the ranking in points and equivalent price in Pounds as well. With search results comprised of listings from UK centric Websites, Keyword Advertisers are not just bidding for higher placement against other Godado UK advertisers, but from competitors in countries worldwide. Godado UK customers will have the opportunity to add their search results into other pay-per-click search engines, including SearchHound.com, from a single Account Manager. The consolidation of Godado UK and SearchHound will allow users to deposit money into their accounts in US Dollars and the British Pound Sterling. This will allow users from both Godado UK and SearchHound to interchange results without having to go through a lengthy currency exchange process. "We believe Godado represents the first 'pay-per-click' search engine to develop a points system, providing our advertisers with a universal bidding unit," stated Dave Mullikin, president and CEO of SearchHound.com and Godado UK. "We intend to integrate this technology in our other search engine products and make it available to other search engine models". Brad N. Cohen, Executive Vice President and co-founder of SearchHound.com traveled to London this week to meet with the UK team to finalize and launch the new points system, establish new business development partnerships, and finalize development of the UK sales strategy. "We are constantly striving to improve our features and benefits with the Godado UK and SearchHound account manager. This is the first of many new features we will be releasing in the coming months," stated Cohen. Cohen is also meeting with potential clients and partners in Milan, Italy as SearchHound.com, Inc. continues its pursuit of a European expansion. "We believe this will help our UK advertisers compete with worldwide competition," concluded Cohen who will also be attending the upcoming conference for Internet World UK to further announce this new point system development and increase awareness for SearchHound.com and Godado UK.
