Santa Monica, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - May 23, 2006 - Magazine for marketing strategists, BtoB, has named search engine Business.com, one of the ‘Media Power 50.’ This recognition comes on the heels Search Channel’s recent white paper, ‘The Emerging Opportunity in Vertical Search,’ highlighting Business.com as a major player in the business category.

According to the company, Business.com, the leading B2B vertical search engine, is at the forefront of online trends affecting both search behavior and advertising investments. A recent industry survey showed that 71% of professionals consider the Internet, including search engines and trade sites, as the most useful media source for work-related information.

Accolades from BtoB and Search Channel clearly demonstrate that vertical search is picking up momentum, and Business.com is the thought leader in business search, one of the most lucrative categories.”
