PowerAdz.com is the leading provider of Internet products and services for newspapers in North America. We've set the standard in helping newspapers become the primary source for online information in their local markets.

Today the PowerAdz.com Network includes 1,546 member newspapers and delivers 347,898 classified ads from throughout the United States.

PowerAdz is changing the world of online newspapers by adding valuable consumer content, business directory listings, targeted advertising opportunities and a powerful national network of classified ads. With more than 1,400 networked affiliates and growing, we represent the largest such network in the world. Much like a CBS or NBC Network station, our newspaper affiliates collect the local content and provide the sales channel for local advertisers. Our products enable newspapers to easily publish their content online and allows them to focus on their own core competencies of journalism, local sales and publishing.

At PowerAdz.com, we've created Zwire!, the largest media network of local newspaper-based community portals on the Internet. When a newspaper joins Zwire! - the 'Dot-Com Newspaper Network' - they concentrate on building their Internet business and leave the technology and revenue models to us. The size of our network attracts large, national advertisers which generate nontraditional revenue for our members. The majority of Zwire! papers report a substantial increase in revenue shortly after launch. We also generate another revenue stream for affiliates with national advertising on the Zwire! Network.

Zwire! is a low-cost, highly sophisticated editorial publishing system that allows newspapers to launch and maintain a compelling and profitable online presence, quickly and easily. Zwire! comes equipped with a wealth of popular content that attracts readers on a daily basis, including AdQuest Classifieds, the largest national network of classified ads in the world.

AdQuest classifieds is the most powerful classified search engine that creates a 'total user experience' by wrapping related articles, business directory listings and advertisements around classified categories. Each AdQuest affiliate is hooked up to a network of more than 1,400 newspapers, allowing readers to search classified ads from around the country. While the national network can be searched, we've developed a unique "center of the universe" search technology that ensures your newspaper's classified ads will always appear first in your local readers' search results. All search results are reported on a mile radius based on zip code.

We have also incorporated multiple revenue streams to help newspapers make additional money online. Newspapers not only maintain control of their classified ads online, they also participate in revenue generation programs such as online display ads, enhanced yellow page listings, online creative ads, links, and banner advertising focused on local advertisers while increasing print lineage.
