Internet Gold's GoldMind to Launch "The Money" Lead Generation Financial Portal
Monday December 5, 3:11 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, December 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold,
(Nasdaq: IGLD - News) today announced that GoldMind, a fully-owned subsidiary,
will soon launch a new portal named "The Money" which will offer a broad range
of financial information to Israeli consumers. The site will be owned and
operated jointly by GoldMind (50.1%) and the founders of the concept.
The new financial portal will offer a broad range of information designed to
help individuals make educated financial decisions in Israel's rapidly- changing
money market. In addition, it will provide access to specific data regarding
services and rates offered by Israeli banks, pension funds, insurance companies
and other institutions. The site's revenues will come from a combination of
advertising and lead generation, a new business model that has proven itself
through Nirshamim, Internet Gold's 50%-owned academic portal.
Commenting on the news, Mr. Doron Turgeman, CFO of Internet Gold and CEO of
GoldMind, said, "We are excited to launch "The Money", another step in our
strategy to extend our leadership of Israel's Internet Media and Advertising
space. With far-reaching reforms bringing sweeping changes to Israel's financial
markets, consumers seek information that will help them make sound decisions,
and they need easier access to the specific rates and deals available. As a
central repository of authoritative advice and up-to-date information, we
believe The Money will soon attract a large customer base and become a popular
point where investors and investment opportunities meet. We believe that our new
"lead generation" business model, which has proven so successful with our
"Nirshamim" academic portal, will demonstrate its strength here too, becoming a
second strong revenue stream in addition to the portal's advertising sales. We
are confident that both "lead generation" and advertising revenues will grow in
step with the rapid expansion of Israel's Interactive Advertising marketplace."
