Local Corporation Releases Online Pay-Per-Call Advertising Forecast from Borrell Associates
Pay-Per-Call Ad Spending Projected to Reach $8.1 Billion by 2018

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2013-- Local Corporation (NASDAQ:LOCM), a leading online local media company, today announced that it partnered with Borrell Associates on a forecast of the online pay-per-call advertising market.

The research, which was commissioned by Local Corporation and conducted by Borrell Associates, estimates that online pay-per-call ad spending will grow from $1.7 billion in 2013 to $8.1 billion by 2018. The forecast also estimates that use of pay-per-call advertising among U.S. businesses that market online is projected to more than double by 2018.

Local Corporation has been issued five patents related to pay-per-call advertising solutions, including U.S. patent number 8,359,049, which is directed to various aspects of mobile, pay-per-call directory assistance and advertising systems and/or methods.

"Industry experts are projecting that within five years, 80 percent of local searches will be done on a mobile device1. We believe the pay-per-call mobile lead generation ad model will be instrumental in monetizing these local consumers on mobile devices," said Heath Clarke, Local Corporation chairman and CEO.

"This new research validates the investments we've made in building our intellectual property portfolio over the past decade," added Clarke. "With five key patents in the mobile pay-per-call space, we feel we're uniquely positioned to generate royalty revenues from the growing pay-per-call market."

Will Yelp Ever Be Profitable?

Oct 29 2013, 17:33 | 30 comments
On Tuesday in the after-hours, Yelp (YELP) announced results of another quarter where it failed to report a profit. The company reported a loss of 4 cents per share on revenues of $61.2 million (this represents a year-to-year growth of 68%). Yelp has a habit of spending more money than it makes and this habit might continue on for the foreseeable future.

berücksichtigt, werden die Divergenzen noch absurder:

"When we dig deeper into Yelp's numbers, we realize that in order to generate $61.2 million in revenues, the company had to spend $34.12 million on sales and marketing, $11.21 million on product development, $10.54 million on general administrative functions and $4.27 on other costs of revenue. Basically, generating $61.2 million in revenues costs Yelp $60.14 million (it totals up to $62.96 million if we include depreciation and amortization items). Similarly, year-to-date, Yelp spent $169 million in order to generate $162 million in revenues. Between the third quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of this year, Yelp's revenues grew by 68% while the company's operating costs jumped by 64%. This excludes the stock based compensation, which grew from $2.33 million to $7.10 million during the same period."

The More "Profitable" Network Publishing & Advertising Business

As we mentioned above Local Corp. has established strong relationships with regional publishing companies across the county, such as the Boston Herald, the Washington Post, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and many others.

The company arranges to link its proprietary search engine into these publishers online web pages in order to respond to customers who surf the site in search of local information, events, activities and shopping. These searches are almost always of a local nature and the people are favorably disposed to act on the information they receive. As such the local advertisers are much more willing to pay more for "click thrus" from these prospects.

"The company's efforts to increase sales from its high-margin Network
business could help to generate substantial cash flow in the years ahead.
Local has revved up its sales initiatives within its high-margin Network Publishing
business. This business helps merchants and community websites monetize
consumer traffic through genre-specific advertisements carefully targeted to
consumer interests and local communities. As more revenue accrues from this
business, the company's margin mix should improve leading to more consistent
profits and cash flow."

oder nur die täglichen Parolen zugreifen und Divergenz zu Yelp ?  

Ich habs doch gesagt, am Jahresende stehen wir bei 1,55 usd. Wobei ,wenn es weiter jeden Tag abwärts geht, stehen wir noch tiefer.Echt geile Aktie, bei der Börsen-Hausse.....  

Network Rev (GAAP, in million) – Traffic Aquisations Cost (TAC) = Network Revenues ex TAC

Q2/12 $4.1 – 2.0 = 2.1
Q3/12 $5.0 – 2.1 = 2.9
Q4/12 $7.6 – 3.7 = 3.9
Q1/13 $8.3 – 4.2 = 4.1
Q2/13 $11.6 – 6.8 = 4.8

The percentages of Traffic Aquisations Cost (TAC) in the Network Unit are lower than a half of the Traffic Aquisations Cost (TAC) in the Owned & Operated Unit.
 

wenn die Schlusskurse von LOCM und Yelp bei jetzigen Stand bleiben,

hat sich wenigstens die Divergenz ein kleines Stück verringert,

da Locm - 4 % und Yelp - 7 % !
