Inuvo Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter Revenue
 Up 46% Over Fourth Quarter 2009
 
CLEARWATER, Fla.—January 10, 2011-- Inuvo® (NYSE Amex: INUV) announced today that revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 would be approximately $14 million. This represents a 46% increase over the $9.6 million of revenue in the same quarter of 2009 and is slightly lower than the third quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter preliminary revenue is subject to a final review by the Company’s independent auditors.
 
The Company further reported that its search marketing business experienced reduced revenues in the latter half of the fourth quarter resulting from migration to the recently launched Yahoo!-Bing platform. This integration caused both an unexpected disruption in search traffic purchased through the Yahoo!-Bing platform and lower revenue-per-click received from the Yahoo!-Bing platform. The Company is making the necessary adjustments required to adapt to the new marketplace, but volatility may continue over the ensuing months.
