Move, Inc. Renews Content Distribution Agreement With MSN

CAMPBELL, Calif., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Move, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOVE), the leader in online real estate, today announced it has renewed its content distribution agreement with online leader MSN, thereby continuing to deliver unmatched reach and value to advertisers interested in targeting the 18.6 million(1) consumers searching the first and fifth most visited real estate websites(2) each month.

Move's Chief Executive Officer, Steve Berkowitz, said, "By increasing our online presence through distribution agreements with leaders like MSN, Move creates unparalleled opportunities for advertisers to reach beyond our network to an even greater audience searching for reliable and fresh real estate listings and homeownership information."

Berkowitz continues by explaining that Move's content distribution partners, including MSN, understand the value of displaying the largest and most accurate collection of property listing content available on their sites, and trust Move to ensure their visitors' online property search experience includes the freshest and most accurate property details available on the Internet.

"One of the reasons Move remains the leader in online real estate is because of our valued relationships with the 933+ Multiple Listing Services nationwide," says Berkowitz.  "Because of these relationships, Move is in the unique position to update approximately 75 percent of the property listings on our network every 15 minutes. By delivering the largest and most accurate real estate content search experience, Move remains an efficient and effective online marketing solution for our content distribution partners and our advertisers."

Berkowitz goes on to say that while reach, traffic and content search experience are vital for advertisers to consider, audience quality is an equally important consideration for advertisers.

"Move continually attracts the largest audience of consumers as compared to other real estate websites, which is important to advertisers," Berkowitz says. "At the same time, data shows a significant portion of our traffic is considered to be of the highest quality because they are part of the top 20 percent that regularly search the real estate category(3).  By increasing our online footprint through content distribution agreements with partners like MSN, and by delivering the best online search experience to consumers, Move's advertisers will continue to reach the right consumers at the right time."

With the recently renewed agreement, MSN visitors interested in searching for real estate can continue to access millions of property listings and relevant information from the Move Network by going to the Money tab located on the MSN homepage, and selecting Real Estate & Rentals.  In addition to finding properties and reliable information on area schools, community features, sold prices, home values and more, MSN visitors clicking to the Move Network can also connect directly with Realtors®, mortgage services, and professional movers to help make the process of buying and selling a home easier.

Move has served as a provider of real estate listing content to MSN since 2003.
