ORLANDO, Fla., February 5, 2008 -- VoIP, Inc. (OTCBB:VOIC), a global provider of advanced patented Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications and services, announced today that it has launched “RazrClick,” a PPC (Pay Per Call) advertisement network utilizing our proprietor patents. Recently Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG) and eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY) announced a multi-year agreement to benefit both companies. The agreement included components involving "click-to-call" advertising functionality.
RazrClick will focus strictly on gaining market share in the rapidly growing Pay-Per-Call advertising market. When you dissect the current Pay-Per-Click market and understand how many clicks it takes to actually gain a customer and compare that to the data surrounding Pay-Per-Call, it seems to be a no brainer that this technology is here to stay and is rapidly growing. www.RazrClick.com
Pay-Per-Call is just getting started, but the research firm Kelsey Group says Pay-Per-Call ad revenue in the U.S. in 2009 will top $4 billion. By comparison, all paid search ad revenue in the U.S. surpassed $4 billion in the first half of this year and is growing at more than a 40% per year clip.
With Pay-Per-Call, advertisers get the power of the Web while still connecting with customers on the phone. There is a tremendous appetite amongst advertisers to buy phone calls in order to reach these consumers who are searching for products. Online advertisers pay on average $8 to $10 per call made via a Pay-Per-Call and that is up to six times higher than they might pay for a typical Pay-Per-Click ad.
“There are many companies that are providing Pay-Per-Click advertising. However, after careful research and consulting with attorneys we believe we have the only patent in this space,” stated Anthony Cataldo, CEO VoIP, Inc. “We intend to aggressively pursue all infringers so that our shareholders can reap the benefit of the value this patent affords the company; additionally we believe that all providers of this type of advertising/technology are directly violating our patents.”
