PlanetClick Launches New Internet Stock Index
NEW YORK, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, PlanetClick, a new Internet directory (http://www.planetclick.com), launched the PlanetClick 500 stock index (http://www.planetclick.com/pc500/) which tracks the stock performance of companies with top rated web sites. The PlanetClick 500 is an index comprised of 500 publicly-traded companies from all over the world covering a range of industries.
"In today's world, most people believe that a high quality web presence is essential for any leading company," said Lance Laifer, President of PlanetClick. "The PlanetClick 500 index attempts to confirm this assumption by examining the stock performance of companies with acclaimed web sites listed in our directory."
The PlanetClick 500 companies each hosts one of the highest rated sites in their respective industry or PlanetClick category. The index is calculated using a methodology where all stock price movements are weighted equally. The level of the index as of the end of any day reflects the average daily price change of all 500 member stocks relative to the base period index value. Each month, PlanetClick will review its database of sites to update the 500 list to include those public companies with the best web sites on the judgment of PlanetClick users within the predetermined industry breakdown.
PlanetClick allows users to rate sites based on a multitude of web characteristics, including content, speed, design, and navigation. Users can evaluate sites that are already in the directory or add new ones. The PlanetClick rating system allows its users to help each other find the most relevant sites pertaining to a search.
