Ein Ad-Serving-System ist z.B. DART (Dynamic Advertising Reporting & Targeting), das heute über die Tochter Doubleclick zu Google gehört.

RAMP kann seine Ads auch an DART ausliefern:

Rich media ads delivered through RAMP can be served with most any ad server, including DART. In fact, RAMP is one of the first third-party systems to be accessed through the DART reporting control panel saving time and trouble. Once the ad goes live, RAMP dynamically tracks click-throughs, rollovers, average time clicked through, mouse over percentage, average video play time and other rich media specific measures depending on the metrics that interest you. We also provide a graphical view of your campaign metrics so you can easily identify trends and "blips" on your campaign that need to be addressed."
Besonders interessant für mich ist, dass ich immer dann ganz oder teilweise abgestellt werde, wenn ich Local.com mit dem anstehenden IPO von Yelp bzw, mit dem bereits erfolgten von Groupon vergleiche. Offensichtlich sind die Inkubatoren der beiden IPO's gute Kunden von Yahoo.

Der Weg ist aber in jedem Fall richtig, denn man war vorher in zweifacher Hinsicht zu einseitig aufgestellt: 1. zu stark auf Local Search und 2. zu stark auf Yahoo als Ad-Partner fokussiert. Das Risiko hiervon hat sich 2011 gezeigt: Probleme bei Yahoo und schon wird das Ergebnis negativ.
Aus den Meldungen kann man schließen, dass LOCM die Akquisitionen nicht wild zusammengekauft hat um den Umsatz zu erhöhen, sondern dass man sich langfristig was dabei gedacht hat und auf Synergieeffekte setzt.
In der neuen Auftstellung mit Google als Haupt-Ad-Partner (neben einigen weiteren wie nach wie vor Yahoo) und sukzessive aufdrehenden Akquisitionen müsste 2012 eigentlich wesentlich besser werden als 2012. Auch die langfristige Perspektive müsste sich durch die Diversifikation deutlich verbessern, schließlich ist man in einem Wachstumsmarkt aktiv.
Und überhaupt passen 92 Millionen Monthly Unique Visitors in keinster Weise mit 50 Millionen Marktkapitalisierung zusammen.
Bewertung LOCM am 3. Oktober 2011: 22,08M * $2,12 = 46,81. Aktuell wieder genau so.
DEXO (Jahresumsatz zwischen 1 und 2 Milliarden) war am 4. Oktober 2011 nur 50.23M * $0,36 = $18M wert! Aktuell 83M.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=DEXO
SPMD (Jahresumsatz ähnlich DEXO) war am 3. Oktober 2011 nur 15.49M * $1,20 = $18,6M wert! Aktuell 40.89M.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=SPMD
OK, die beiden haben einen enormen Schuldenberg und sind aus Pleiten hervorgegangen, aber sie sind dennoch wesentlich größer als LOCM, waren aber Anfang Oktober kurzfristig die Hälfte wert, SPMD sogar heute noch weniger als LOCM. Erstaunlich.
Da diese beiden meistens Ähnlichkeiten im Kursverlauf haben wie LOCM, fällt momentan eine Diskrepanz auf, LOCM ist zurückgefallen. Vielleicht holt LOCM ja bald wieder auf und zieht wieder mit.

Ob sie das flächendeckend machen, wage ich noch zu bezweifeln, da das Geschäft mir zu kapitalintensiv scheint und beim jetzigen niedrigen Kurs die Ausgabe neuer Aktien zu zu großen Verwässerungen führt. Aber das hat vielleicht auch etwas Gutes, da man bei einem Start in kleinem Umfang auch weniger Anfängerfehlerkosten hat - allerdings geht das zu Kosten von First-Mover-Advantages, die ich aber in dieser Branche nicht allzu hoch einschätze, da meines Erachtens Netzeffekte nur sehr beschränkt wirken.
Wie schon einmal angeführt, kann ich mir allerdings eine White-Label-Version vorstellen, bei der z.B. wie beim "Powererd by Local.com-Bereich" im Bereich der lokalen Suche das Daily Deal-Geschäft über regionale Medien vorgenommen wird, die Aufträge vor Ort akquirieren, während das Back Office von Local.com gemanagt wird. Ob das machbar ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen - aber es gibt schon White-Label-Anbieter.

I've never traded a single share of this company- I am a long holding out for the long haul, and this is gravy for me personally, with the share price being so low for a while. It's nice, as us longs have averaged all the way down and now we are riding out the storm. Sunnier days are coming-it may be a rocky year coming, maybe not, bring it on. I'll be accumulating shares of LOCM the whole time.
LOCM has structured itself to be directly in the middle of the changing way people do shopping via smartphone, for one. They are currently offering excellent business solutions in this department to all businesses, small and large alike. Just ask Google- they are totally involved with Local.com and its business model, they are innovating the next technological wave of consumer-retailer relations and communications, and they are in this to win, believe it. Or, you can succumb to the calls of all these idiotic pansy shortselling cowardly phonies on this board and sell all the shares of LOCM you have and not buy any more.
What do they care what we longs do? It is a very big deal to them, for some reason, gee let's figure that out... meanwhile, the smart money (and also these particular dumb-posting shortsellers who must cover) are accumulating at this time, while LOCM is at cyclical lows. Remember rule #1: Buy low, sell high. And, LOCM is at near historic lows. Current prices and any further price pullbacks provide excellent buying opportunities, make no mistake.
Patience and money to buy shares are all that are required. The timing is great, if not optimal, for starting a new position in LOCM and is optimal for averaging down, and is optimal for shorts to cover! Let's see what kind of intelligent (or idiotic) posts come after this. Don't be surprised to see the shorts come in and offer neolithic feedback replies to this post such as "YOU'RE a PUTZ" or "GO BLOW IT" or some other moronic comments that offer nothing to the readers on this message board.
All you need to know is LOCM will surely rise from the ashes- share price has obviously lagged and fallen regardless of all of the positive developments of Local.com this year, do a little research and see what this company has and why Google is so involved at this time. You may be amazed at what people won't tell you, research it yourself. The yahoo ID Flankenking (the real flankenking, not the copycat phonies who pose as Flankenking) offers relevant material constantly and he always posts fundamental realities that are current for Local.com. There are several great message posters here on this board who really have relevant factual information to input, and their messages are truly appreciated (but beware of those posting falsifications on LOCM!).
LOCM has been a test of patience in 2011 and has not been for the faint of heart, but now is the time to be looking at stepping in, at the share price lows. I have no interest other than owning shares and following the progress and developments of Local.com and I could really care less if you buy or sell, short and/or snort, or whatever. However, I implore you to research this company yourself, I believe they are on the right track (Google has put them on the fast track) to seize the spotlight in the local ad-space arena of the internet and it is just a matter of time before the share price reflects the multiplied fast track of developments this company is accomplishing. Local.com is indeed a buyout candidate; the question is who will it be or will they stand alone? Either way, they will be an asset to consumers in the way they shop and to retailers looking for high tech marketing solutions, optimizing the experience and budgets for both.

Dex One (Nasdaq: DEXO) is a turnaround story. As we have seen so many times, the market punishes out of favor stocks to the extreme but as the turnaround starts taking hold, the stock responds. In this case, the company is now beginning to tackle its biggest issue – debt – head on. And since the company is profitable and generates excellent free cash flow, DEXO represents one of the few opportunities in the stock market to get in the early stages of a major bull run in the stock.
Dex One Overview
In January 2010, RH Donnelley reorganized under bankruptcy protection and started afresh as Dex One. Essentially, Dex One is a publisher of yellow pages, mostly for AT&T (T) and Century Link. It publishes its directories in 28 states in the US. In addition to its print business, Dex One also operates a local business directory and search site called DexKnows. In addition, it operates a Pay per click ad network called Dex Net.
The company describes itself as a marketing company that helps local businesses with their marketing programs across multiple platforms in generating leads.
The company operated 3 separate subsidiaries under the Dex One umbrella – Dex One Media East, Dex One Media West and RH Donnelley Inc. The company has been restructuring and reorganizing itself since 4Q 2010 and at the end of Sep 2011, it is now organized as RH Donnelley Corp, RH Donnelley Inc, Dex One Media, Dex One Digital (formerly known as Business.com, Dex One no longer owns business.com website) and Dex One Service.
The company is currently focused on growing its digital line of business and away from printed directories with good success.
The Current State of the Company
The company closed out Q3 2011 with a net income of $0.44/share and expects the next quarter to perform roughly in line with Q3. The trailing revenues and earnings are as follows:
Revenues figures are in millions
In Q2 2011, the company took a massive $801 million write down on impaired goodwill which is clearly a one-time event (or since the company is restructuring it will have quite a few of these one-time events). There were other write downs in 2010. As part of the restructuring, the company is on track to realize $125 million in cost savings in 2011. To come to the adjusted EPS, I have backed out the one time events along with their estimated tax consequences to get a good picture of their ongoing business.
As of Nov 17 2011 market close, the company shares are worth
Price: $0.97/share
Market Value: $48.67 million
Which gives it the following profit ratios
Price to Earnings, ttm adjusted: 0.65
Price to Earnings, next 12 month (estimated): 0.55
Price to sales, ttm: 0.03
To summarize, Dex One’s core business is profitable and can be bought at a PE ratio of 0.65. Put it another way, a mere 2 quarters of Dex One’s profits can buy out the entire company in the market.
So why does the market treat the stock as if the company will not last another 6 months?
Ugly Balance Sheet
On the surface, the debt level is too high. And the book value is non-existent.

Total Equity of the company is $6.563 million. At the end of Jun 30, 2010, the company had equity of $940.05 million. Since then, the company has written down $1.345 Billion in goodwill, down to 0, that it still carried after the bankruptcy reorganization of RH Donnelley. A quick calculation shows that the company created $411 in equity in the last 5 quarters (=6.563 – (1345-940)), or around $80 million/quarter.
Without the write downs, the equity of the company would have been around $1.35 Billion today.
Market sees the following picture:
Revenue (ttm): $1.486 Billion
Debt: $2.552 Billion
Reported EPS (loss): (10.87)/share
Equity: $0.006 Billion
And promptly believes that the debt level is too high and drives the market value down to less than $50 million.
Compare the above to the following:
Revenue (ttm): $1.486 Billion
Debt: $2.552 Billion
Adjusted EPS (loss): 1.50/share
Equity: $1.35 Billion
- and it is easy to see that a $50 million market value is quite ridiculous.
These two pictures are essentially identical, except for writing off of the Goodwill, which is a non-cash and non-operating charge and has no effect on the actual business going forward. It just had the effect of altering the EPS line and the Shareholder’s Equity line.
But the debt is really high, isn’t it?
The debt is quite high, no doubt. However, Dex One is currently generating about $400 million in Free Cash Flow/year (which is after debt payments). This means that it can pay the debt off in roughly 6 years if it directs all its FCF towards debt repayment. Its current $195 million cash cushion (which is itself $3.89/share – compared to the share price of $0.97/share) should be enough working capital for the next 6 years.
This is the worst case scenario. In the best case scenario, the debt can be paid back much faster. Here is the breakdown of Dex One’s total long term debt:

Except for the $300 million note, all other debt matures in Oct 2014. I want to draw your attention to the Discounted Value column. This column shows the current market value of the corresponding debt. So, for example, The RHDI senior note is currently selling in the market at 55 cents on the dollar.
Dex One is currently in the process of negotiating with their lenders to get approval to allow them to buy back part of their debt at below par. If they are able to come to an agreement, we will start seeing “write ups” on the income statement and the balance sheet and it will also be favorable to the cash flow. This will be a major catalyst in moving the stock price appreciably higher.
Estimating Intrinsic Value for DEXO
In 3 years’ time, when the bulk of the debt matures, in a no growth scenario Dex One will likely add another $80x3x4 = $0.96 Billion in Equity. This will bring Debt to Equity ratio to almost 1. If Dex One is able to retire some of the debt at a discount, debt/equity ratio will decline even further.
Currently Local.com trades at a 0.73 P/S and 1.02 P/B, despite making losses. A similar valuation will put Dex One at $1B in market value in 2014. This is not unreasonable for a company with $1.5 Billion in annual revenues. With approx. 50 million shares outstanding, this puts Dex One’s price 3 years from now at $20/share. It is worth noting that coming out of bankruptcy, Dex One shares traded at over $30/share in Feb 2010. The company values itself at $2.275 Billion ($45/share) assuming current cash flow for next 4.5 years and then a terminal growth rate of (1%) using a discount rate of 13.5%, so my estimate is definitely much more conservative than the company’s.
Here we have a stock that can be worth $20 in 3 years. If you demand a 15% return on your investment, you should be willing to pay up to $13 for the stock today. Add another 50% margin of safety and any price under $6.5 should be a great purchase. Of course, the stock is right now available for $1 so it is especially attractive.

Als Antwort auf deine Aussage "DEXO läuft und LOCM läuft nicht" erlaube ich mir darauf hinzuweisen, dass Du DEXO hier im Thread (statt LOCM) empfohlen hast, als sie bei $6,31 standen:
http://www.ariva.de/forum/...aussichtsreich-392956?page=24#jumppos616
Das macht -72% zum heutigen Kurs, am Tiefpunkt im Oktober sogar -94%.
LOCM ging im gleichen Zeitraum nur -45% runter.
Und wie LOCM jetzt weiterläuft werden wie bald sehen, IMO geht´s hier jetzt wieder aufwärts, ähnlich DEXO, nur dass es bei LOCM in der Zwischenzeit nicht so tief runterging wie bei DEXO.
Wie DEXO auf dem jetzigen Niveau zu sehen ist, das gehört dann doch in den DEXO-Thread.
Wer also wie auf der Spielbank zocken will, ist meines Erachtens sogar bei DEXO besser aufgehoben - ob allerdings die Chancen höher sind als auf der Spielbank, kann ich auch nicht sagen.
