• A content deal with Germany's largest sports' portal Sport1 (www.sport1.de)**. The agreement reunites MIVA and Sport1 who had a previous Pay-Per-Click agreement in place a year ago. Under the terms of the new agreement MIVA will be displaying content driven Pay-Per-Click Ads across both the homepage and channel pages of the site.
• A content deal with MyVideo.de (www.myvideo.de), Germany's 4th largest website with over 653 million page impressions per month***. Under the terms of the agreement, content driven MIVA Pay-Per-Click Ads will be displayed across selected channels of the site.

In addition to these agreements, MIVA also last month announced the signing of a search and content deal with the U.K.'s second largest local newspaper publisher, Johnston Press Plc*. The agreement sees MIVA display targeted Pay-Per-Click Ads across a network of over 300 national, regional and classified websites.

"We believe we're building a good level of momentum following the signing of these new partner agreements," said Peter Corrao MIVA's Chief Executive Officer. "These are prestigious publishing brands across both the U.S. and Europe and we believe the wins are a significant vote of confidence in our ability as online monetization experts."

Added TransWorldNews, Inc., CFO Ray Firth: "The award of our Pay-Per-Click agreement to MIVA was based on the company's proven track record in online monetization and demonstrable expertise in delivering highly relevant and targeted Pay-Per-Click Ads."

These new partners form part of the MIVA MC Managed network, a Pay-Per-Click network that is designed for large online publishers and offers fully customized Pay-Per-Click implementations as well as ongoing account management and optimization services.
