Internet Gold's Subsidiary MSN Israel Launches New Improved MSN Search
Tuesday February 1, 1:57 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, February 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As part of
Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT - News) worldwide launch of its New MSN Search,
Internet Gold's (NASDAQ: IGLD - News) subsidiary, MSN-Israel (owned 50.1% by
Internet Gold and 49.9% by Microsoft Corp.), today launched a new
Hebrew-language MSN Search service designed for the Israeli market and Hebrew
speakers throughout the world
"The launch of this exciting new service is another step in our efforts to
increase our share of Israel's growing search and index markets," said Mr. Eli
Holtzman, Internet Gold's CEO. "As in the rest of the world, 'search' in Israel
has proven its ability to generate significant revenues and is just beginning to
grow. We are confident that the addition of MSN's powerful new search technology
to our successful MSN-Israel is a winning combination that will immediately
begin generating significant placement and index fees.
"To round out our 'search and index' activities, we will soon be launching an
MSN-Israel-branded index in cooperation with our partner Netex. We believe that
our ability to offer customers a variety of options for proven-effective
targeted advertising on complementary search and index sites will serve as a
powerful revenue generator, enabling us to reach our target of 40% market share
in Israel's rapidly growing search-related market.
