News Release Details

SEATTLE, WA - November 4, 2004

Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHX), a provider of technology- based services to merchants engaged in online transactions, today announced the official launch of TrafficLeader Express, a private-label, search engine marketing solution that allows small and medium business aggregators of all types, including Yellow Page companies and agencies, to provide locally-targeted search engine marketing programs for small- and medium- sized businesses.

As part of the launch, TrafficLeader announced an agreement with Vista.com, a private label supplier of Internet business applications for small and medium business customers. Under the agreement, Vista.com will utilize TrafficLeader Express to fulfill search marketing programs for its small- and medium-sized business clients. This follows a similar agreement TrafficLeader announced with a major Yellow Pages provider in May.

TrafficLeader Express is an offering that can be customized for all partners and aggregators, like Vista.com, in that the partner can define the search engines from which their small and medium businesses will receive customer leads, and in turn, TrafficLeader Express fulfills the program accordingly. TrafficLeader Express can fulfill these programs using a combination of feed management and pay-per-click advertising. This approach empowers TrafficLeader's partners to create programs that best fit their small- and medium-sized business clients' needs.

TrafficLeader Express provides two flexible solutions for its partners:

1. A fully outsourced solution, in which TrafficLeader manages and fulfills campaigns, and also delivers reporting on behalf of its partners;
2. A partner-hosted solution that allows aggregators, such as Vista.com, agencies and Yellow Pages companies to easily manage campaigns internally and service their customers more directly.

"TrafficLeader Express enables aggregators like Vista.com to create a new revenue stream, improve customer retention, and build a competitive advantage by being able to offer their client merchants an easy way to drive more customers to their storefronts and Web sites," said Jerry Wiant, TrafficLeader CEO. "This product makes it easier than ever for aggregators of small- and medium-sized businesses to build upon their existing relationships by seamlessly providing their clients with the proven value of customizable, locally-targeted search engine marketing programs."

"Our collaboration with TrafficLeader fits in very well with our overall vision of making it possible for small- and medium-sized business to implement a powerful, fully-enabled ecommerce solution quickly, easily and cost effectively," said Jamie Bland, President of Vista.com Merchant Applications. "Generating new leads for our small- and medium-sized business owners is critical to their online success, and with a product like TrafficLeader Express, we can help our customers grow their business. The marketing and sales development elements of this equation are critical, and a product like TrafficLeader Express that can provide qualified, locally-target leads to our small- and medium-sized business customers is a very positive point of differentiation."
