FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LIVEDEAL, INC. REPORTS SOLID SITE GROWTH IN 2007

Leading Local Online Marketplace Demonstrates Consistent Month-Over-Month Growth in Classified and Yellow Pages Listings, Premium Stores, and Unique Visitors

SANTA CLARA, Calif. & MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LiveDeal, Inc. (OTCBB:LVDL), the creator of the nation's first combined local online classifieds and Yellow Pages marketplace (www.livedeal.com), today announced that LiveDeal.com is experiencing strong and steady growth throughout 2007 with unique visitors, classified listings, and premium yellow page store memberships.

LiveDeal.com has more than 1,500,000 goods and services listed for sale, an increase of 73 percent since the start of the year. Key listings categories on the site include pets, real estate, autos, services and furniture. Additionally, according to comScore Media Metrix data, the total number of unique monthly visitors for the site has increased by 16% percent year-to-date (January 2007 to July 2007) to almost 1.4 million.

Since the company's acquisition by YP Corp. (now named LiveDeal, Inc.) earlier this year, LiveDeal.com now features more than 13.5 million Yellow Pages listings and offers "premium yellow pages stores" as part of its Yellow Pages solution. LiveDeal's Premium store owners receive the benefit of having their business, products and services categorized as "premium listings" in LiveDeal's yellow pages and classifieds marketplace, which means they are posted above the free listings. In addition to listing products in the classifieds marketplace, premium store yellow pages advertisers can receive feedback ratings from consumers, add a store icon and include a link to their website. LiveDeal's premium store memberships have grown by 400 percent since January.

"LiveDeal's strong and steady site growth is a reflection of our company's deep commitment to providing businesses and consumers with the best local online marketplace available," said Dan Coury, CEO and vice chairman of LiveDeal, Inc. "We have a successful track record in helping buyers and sellers meet and transact locally and our happy users are helping spread the word that LiveDeal.com gets results."

"We expect LiveDeal.com's user loyalty to only continue to grow as we roll out innovative new features and functionality that differentiate our site from the competition," said Rajesh Navar, founder, president and chief architect of LiveDeal, Inc. "We just launched a new feedback rating system as well as enhanced topic-based community discussion capabilities, but this is only the beginning. We look forward to sharing many more new Web 2.0-based enhancements in the upcoming months."
