'No Google Ad Landing Page Left Behind' With Keynote Systems' SEM Landing Page Performance Reports

Keynote (Nasdaq:KEYN), the global leader in on-demand mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions for continuously improving the online experience, today announced Keynote SEM landing page performance reports. The new reports are a critical source of actionable performance data in response to Google's implementation this month of ad page loading time as an important new factor of an ad's overall Quality Score, a dynamic variable calculated by Google that uses multiple factors to discover how relevant an advertisers' keywords are to their ad text and to a user's search query.

Google's Quality Score influences an advertisers' position on Google and the Google Network. It also partly determines an advertisers' keyword minimum bid. In general, the higher an advertisers' Quality Score, the better an advertisers' ad position and the lower their minimum bids. Google's Quality Score helps ensure that only the most relevant ads appear to users on Google and the Google Network. Relevant ads earn more clicks, appear in a higher position and bring online advertisers' the most success. Google has announced that landing page load time is being incorporated into the Quality Score to improve the overall user experience and says users have the best experience when they don't have to wait a long time for landing pages to load and that users are more likely to abandon landing pages that load slowly, which hurt an advertisers' conversion rate.

"Marketers compulsively optimize SEM ad copy and bids to get the highest ranking within budget. Page load time performance is just the next frontier for search marketing," said Anshu Agarwal, executive director of marketing at Keynote. "This change by Google elevates the performance imperative to the marketing suite - it's not just for Web operations geeks anymore."

Keynote SEM landing page performance reports measure the top landing pages on your site from the end user perspective in 10 U.S. metropolitan areas and provide daily metrics and alerts based on user defined thresholds. Keynote will translate technical metrics into actionable insights and provide tactical feedback on remediation opportunities.

Availability and Pricing

Keynote's SEM landing page performance reports are available now. To setup a personal demo please visit: http://keynote.com/sfadtech.

Keynote Systems Acquires French-based Zandan and Solidifies Its Position as the Global Leader in

Keynote Systems (Nasdaq:KEYN), the global leader in on-demand mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions for continuously improving the online experience, today announced the acquisition of Zandan, a private, French-based software company.

In the transaction, Keynote 1) secured the exclusive rights to the technology used to develop Keynote Mobile Application Perspective(R) (MAP), which was originally licensed from Zandan in a non-exclusive OEM deal approximately three years ago; 2) gained access to the company's small, but important customer base including Telefonica and Bouygues, the large Spanish and French wireless carriers; and 3) cemented Keynote's position as the worldwide leader in mobile test & measurement software-as-a service (SaaS) solutions. The total purchase price is expected to be EUR 2 Million, or approximately US$3 million, and includes the share purchase price, debt repayment and estimated restructuring costs, which are likely to be incurred over the next six months. The transaction is expected to be accretive on a non-GAAP basis in Keynote's fiscal year 2009, which begins October 1, 2008. The company defines non-GAAP net income as net income adjusted for provision for income tax, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization of purchased intangibles less cash tax expense.

Zandan is a 14-person French-based software company, whose founder and former chief technology officer, Jerome Jacq, joined Keynote in 2007. Zandan supplies active end-to-end customer simulation solutions used across the entire mobile service life cycle from interactive testing, service & handset acceptance to live monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting and SLA management. Keynote MAP allows wireless operators and mobile content developers to interactively test, measure and monitor mobile content from 22 geographic locations worldwide utilizing a library of over 1,000 wireless device profiles.

Umang Gupta, chairman and CEO of Keynote, said "Our MAP service was implemented by us on the basis of Zandan code, and it has already found traction in the U.S. with many mobile customers. We now hope to repeat the same success in Europe with the help of the Zandan team. Our intent is to restructure the Zandan business in an orderly way over the coming six months and to rename it Keynote France. Thereafter , the company, which will be headed by Jerome Jacq, will have the mission of increasing our mobile and Internet business in France, Spain and adjoining countries."
