iProspect Selected to Inc. 500 List of the Fastest Growing Companies in America; The Only Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Firm on List Ranks in the Top 10 Percent

Rated the 5th Fastest Growing Advertising & Marketing Company, iProspect Helps
Drive $2 Billion SEM Industry with Five-Year Revenue Growth of 2,758 Percent

ARLINGTON, Mass., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ — iProspect, The Original(R) Search
Engine Marketing Firm, has been honored as the 47th fastest growing company in
Inc. Magazine’s 22nd annual Inc. 500 list. iProspect, the only search engine
marketing firm named to the list, also was noted for being the fifth-fastest
growing company in the advertising and marketing segment, having established a
remarkable five-year revenue growth of 2,785 percent. The Inc. 500 Special
Issue will appear on newsstands October 14 and will be on display until
January 2004.

In March 2003, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray trumpeted the rapid growth of
the search engine marketing industry by predicting a $7 billion industry by
2007. "It is important to note that the measurement period for the Inc. 500
list predated the Piper Jaffray report," said Fredrick Marckini, iProspect CEO
and founder. "All of iProspect’s rapid growth occurred before anyone was
aware of the industry. Since 1996, Fortune 1000 companies have entrusted
their brands to iProspect for one simple reason - results. More than half of
our clients are on their second, third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth year of
service."

"iProspect, like many companies you’ll find on the Inc. 500, have
established the type of attitude we need to get this economy moving again,"
said Inc. editor-in-chief John Koten. "For them, a tough market is not an
excuse for poor performance, but an opportunity to innovate and rise above the
competition."

The Inc. 500 ranks privately-held companies according to sales growth over
the past five years. With 75 percent of all new job creation in the U.S.
coming from small businesses, the Inc. 500 is a prescient indicator of the
companies and industries that are driving the economy forward. Over the
years, the Inc. 500 has identified the next generation of world-class
companies, with Microsoft, Stonyfield Farms, Timberland, Oracle, Princeton
Review, Morningstar, E* Trade, Intuit and Domino’s Pizza all appearing on the
list before they became industry powerhouses.

service of maximizing their online return on website investment through search

natural search engine optimization, pay-per-click program management, paid
