"We fully expect top and bottom line revenue growth in future days.

Our company operates in a rapidly changing fragmented ecosystem where billions of dollars are moving from print to online and from within Digital to Local. Desktop is moving to tablet and everyone is moving to smartphones. Tablets and smartphones have new and changing devices and operating systems. Everything is in flux and everyone from the largest companies to the smallest products must adapt.

We’re still at the beginning of most of this and there are enormous opportunities in this sector. As with all businesses, only the agile will thrive and we’ve proven our ability to thrive by delivering nearly 40% compound annual growth for the past six years. We remained focused on building long term value creators in our business, traffic, technology and advertisers with a primary focus on organic traffic and organic revenues."

We will move to annual guidance only and will plan to update our outlook as the year progresses

"We have proven that we are agile and we are able to adapt quickly to the changing digital and mobile landscape, while making long term investments in our business, so we can continue our long term growth trend. We want to build a big and profitable business and that’s our focus.

Quarterly guidance tends to focus us all on the next quarter instead of the long terms opportunities we’re focused on. Starting in 2013, we will move to annual guidance only and will plan to update our outlook as the year progresses.

We remain committed to pursuing our long term objectives of traffic, technology and advertising growth and to maintain our business at about breakeven while invested for the future. We expect revenue and adjusted net income to increase incrementally in future periods."

nicht alles ist, denn es hilft momentan Local Corp nichts Umsatz zuzukaufen, wenn die Kosten höher sind als der zusätzliche erreichte Umsatz - auch wenn das in Startphasen einmal sinnvoll sein kann. Für Local Corp ist es sinnvoller, ersteinmal die große Zahl der User besser "auszubeuten".

Traffic is not all - I agree: We"re obviously not going buy traffic through search engine marketing where the campaigns went negative as result of these changes

"We"re obviously not going buy traffic through search engine marketing where the campaigns went negative as result of these changes. So it"s kind of double impact for us in this quarter, whereby we"ll have less traffic and we"ll monetize at a lower rate.

The flipside is as we adapt to this, we"ll have double positive on the other side. As we adapt to this and optimize, which we"ve already started to do, tested a couple of dozen pages already, we"ve seen a pretty significant increase in monetization off of that testing and we expect to continue to grow that. That allows us to turn those campaigns back on, but our guidance reflects kind of where we"re right now."

werden jetzt deutlich: Im dritten Quartal sind einige Instiutítonals, vor allem Hedge-Funds wie der bisher größte Eigner Penn ...  ausgestiegen. Über die Gründe kann man rätseln, denn die Daten waren da sehr ordentlich. Zwei mögliche Gründe: Erstens war der für das 3. Quartal angekündigte Verkauf von Rovion noch nicht über die Bühne und man vermutete statt der jetzt erlösten fast 4 Millionen einen Erlös von 0, sowie zweitens war die mehrmals jeweils um einen Monate erfolgende Verlängerung des Abkommens mit Yahoo fast abgelaufen, das dann erst im vierten Quartal um sage und schreibe fünf Jahre verlängert wurde. Dazu kamen die Veränderungen im Businessbereich, wo Telefongesellschaften das Inkasso bei Subscribers für Businessleistungen einstellten bzw. das ankündigten - und ob Launch for Local diese ersetzen konnte war unsicher. Letzter Punkt ist noch nicht ausgeräumt, aber immerhin hatte man Ende des Quartal 1.000 Launch for Local-Verträge unter Dach und Fach, die für Einnahmen von mindestens 3 Millionen im Jahr stehen.

so viel Zeit braucht, um das große Potential von Krillion zu heben, denn seit dem Kauf sind inzwischen 18 Monate vorhanden.

The Next Big Growth-Driver

"We acquired Krillion in the second quarter last year and they will be powering our new product directory, which we expect to begin installing on our network starting in the fourth quarter. These instillations are forecasted to provide particularly high gross margin revenues to us."
