Breeders Share Daily Success Stories About Using LiveDeal; Buyers Continue to Flock to LiveDeal to Find the Pet of Their Dreams in Their Local Areas

SANTA CLARA , Calif. , March 1, 2006 –LiveDeal.com (www.livedeal.com), one of the nation’s leading free local online classifieds sites, has quickly emerged as the Internet site of choice for pet breeders seeking an online platform for finding quality homes for their pets – with no listing fees.

More and more breeders are turning to LiveDeal over other pets sites or newspaper classifieds to quickly and cost-effectively find quality homes for their puppies, kittens and other pets. According to comScore Media Metrix, LiveDeal.com is consistently one of the top 10 most visited online classifieds sites on the Web and has ranked ahead of Yahoo! Classifieds, among others, for attracting a greater number of unique visitors over the past six months (August 2005 -January 2006).

“We receive dozens of testimonials from delighted pet buyers and sellers who had been looking for a way to connect with one another on a local level to find beloved animal companions,” said Jill Finlayson, director of category development for LiveDeal. “Even as our breeder community continues to grow, we’re still overwhelmed by potential buyers looking to find just the right pet in their local area. Pets listings are free on LiveDeal.com and placing the right pets with the right owners is one of the most rewarding uses of our local online marketplace.”

Each day, LiveDeal receives testimonials from satisfied pet breeders who want to share stories of their successes using LiveDeal. A consistent theme throughout the testimonials is how impressed the breeders were by LiveDeal’s free listings and how quickly the listings generated buyer response from loving pet owners.

Lori Spellman of Dorset, OH, who breeds “Foxy Tots,” a mix of Fox Terriers and Teacup Yorkies, has been using LiveDeal successfully for more than a year and has personal experience with the site’s level of instant response. "I have never seen a site that is so great!,” she said. “I posted my puppies at 11:00 at night and by the time I got up at 5:45 a.m. my email box was full of people wanting to buy. Wow!”

Jane Mallgren of Mastic Beach, NY, who specializes in small breed dogs, ap preciates LiveDeal’s free listings. “I have been running a pet classified ad in a major New York paper for the past three years,” commented Ms. Mallgren. “I recently found LiveDeal. Ten minutes later I posted two ads with pictures and all the words I needed. The rest is history. I received over 25 responses and all the puppies are gone. I am getting ready to post several new listings this weekend.”

Sandra Newcomb of Hollywood, FL, a breeder of Hairless Rat Terriers, also cites the high quality of LiveDeal buyers for her pets. “We are so pleased with the quality of your customers,” states Ms. Newcomb. “We have placed our hairless puppies with children with allergies. These children make such good homes for our pups because they appreciate them so much."

Cat breeders also rave about the effectiveness of LiveDeal. "I breed Abyssinian kittens and LiveDeal is the only advertising that I use,” said Susan Copeland of Mauldin, SC. “My recent litter was born on January 25 th and all kittens sold by January 30 th just from contacts made through using LiveDeal.” In fact, Copeland shares that one of her LiveDeal listings has generated close to 3,000 interested buyer contacts in just three months.
