Another approximate $2 million in savings to the $3 million in savings actions we took in the fourth quarter.

Amit Dayal - Wainwright
Right. And on the cost cutting side, you have already made a lot of cuts. Should we expect a bit more cost-cutting to happen as we move through 2015?

Ken Cragun - Chief Financial Officer, Secretary
You will see the impact as we go through the year. Late in the first quarter, we had a reduction in force from about 70 people to 60 people and we have looked at other cost savings and we think that will contribute another approximate $2 million in savings to the $3 million in savings actions we took in the fourth quarter. So the impact is not fully weighted, it's partially weighted for the first quarter. So you will see the fully weighted impact of those actions throughout the year and we think we have the right team in place to address the opportunities that we have and we are moving forward with this team that we have that we think is very capable

At Web Marketing Today, we talk a great deal about the value of claiming your business listing in local directories, such as Angie’s List and Yelp.

Local directories are important for three reasons:
•They routinely appear in search results for local information;
•A local search is often the last stop before a consumer takes action;
•Without extensive SEO, your business stands a greater chance of being found by search engines via a directory than through your website.

Here is a list of twenty-five of the top directories — arranged alphabetically — where you can claim your listing. Most are free. In some cases, directories offer both free and premium listing services.
 

First Quarter 2015 Metric Review

First quarter 2015 unique visitors were 59 million, compared to 59 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the average unique
visitors per month for nQuery Mobile Search reached 3 million, representing approximately 400,000 daily search queries.

O&O properties, primarily driven by the company’s flagship site, Local.com, delivered revenue per thousand visitors of $186, stable compared to $186 in the
fourth quarter of 2014.  

zu sehen. Das Märztief bei 0,35 hat wieder gehalten. Mal sehen ob ich da mal reingehe.....  

Vor gar nicht allzulanger Zeit hat hier schon mal jemand gemeint dass der Boden gefunden ist, das ging dann gründlich in die Hose!

Vielleicht macht die tote Katze noch mal nen Sprung!  

In den meisten Fällen, in denen er hier gepostet hat, ist der Kurs gestiegen.  

Mei Libuda, es gab sicher irgendwo steigende Kurse wenn ich hier gepostet habe, nur leider nicht bei der Butze Local.

Ganz im Gegenteil, ich habe immer gesagt Local hat noch eine Chance und immer wieder hat sich das Geschwalle des Vorstandes als heiße Luft herausgestellt und es ging tiefer und tiefer.

Viel Glück bei deinem Pleitezock (meine Meinung)! Mehr ist es nämlich bei Local nicht mehr.  

denn nach meinen bisherigen Erfahrungen gehe ich davon aus, dass nach Deinem erneuten Posten die Aktie auch morgen weiter steigt.  

65 million revenue in 2015 + 2-times-revenues + 56 million share = $2.32/share

We have five new owner from Wolverine-Group and every owner has convertible bonds, which can changed in 6.39 million shares = together 32 million shares and additional 0.6 million shares from the change of the convertible bonds of the management = 32.6 million new share. Together with the existing 23.4 million shares would exist now 56 Million shares, if the convertible bonds would be changed in shares.

I am not happy about this solution and criminal robbery of the shareholders and I believe, that there had exist better alternatives and the chosen alternative was a criminal robbery of the shareholders through the management. But on the other side is this solutions not a reason for the idiotic low market-cap of only 9 million yesterday. And positive is, that by change of the loan for shares the debt were reduced and Local Corp get additional working-capital of 3 million.

Revenues of 13.1 million are on a yearly base = 52.4 million, but I am sure, that we will reach 65 million though improvements in the next quarters.

Amit Dayal - Wainwright
From a guidance point of view, I know you are withdrawing guidance, but just from a visibility perspective, should we assume the first quarter 1Q15 to be the weakest quarter for the year? Do we anticipate improvements in the next few quarters?

Ken Cragun - Chief Financial Officer, Secretary
I think that's a good assessment, Amit, that we have opportunities that we expect will provide growth from this level that we have experienced in the first quarter.

It could include sale of, as we discussed in the past, perhaps selling patents or Krillion or other non-core assets


Ken Cragun - Chief Financial Officer, Secretary: " We explore strategic alternatives with our advisors, Siemer & Associates. We need to do something that is strategic. It could include sale of, as we discussed in the past, perhaps selling patents or Krillion or other non-core assets. But as you know, when you work with a banker for strategic alternatives, it includes, it kind of puts everything on the table. So we are early in that stage. But for us, to really achieve the goals that we have of accelerating programmatic, rolling out more and more mobile carriers, we think it's important that we execute something in the near-term with our advisors on the strategic front in order to achieve these goals and that's our focus right now."

We’re well on the way to building a programmatic platform.

Local Corp CEO Fred Thiel, Tuesday, May 05, 2015 (Street Fight)

Local Corp have created a huge opportunity in two areas. One is in programmatic, the other is in mobile search.

We came up with a set of initiatives that we’ve been executing that allow us to leverage the traffic and data we collect about consumers and consumer intentions through our search business, and leverage that programmatically. We’re well on the way to building a programmatic platform. On the mobile side, we wanted to provide a solution for search for mobile phone users that was different than what the Google/Yahoo traditional browser vendors were doing.
