Media group TEAMtalk has signed a deal with Search & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace across 14 sports Websites

----Begins----

TEAMtalk Media Group (www.teamtalkmedia.com) the company behind the UK’s leading network of sports websites has signed a search deal across its sites with Search & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace, Inc. www.infospaceinc.com.

InfoSpace will be TEAMtalk Media’s exclusive provider of Internet search and directory services (based on its metasearch technology that fetches results from all the major search engines simultaneously) across 14 of its Websites including Football365.com, sportinglife.com, sports.co.uk, sportal.com and TEAMtalk itself.

Dominic Trigg, vice president at InfoSpace Search & Directory explains, “With over 300 million page views per month, TEAMtalk Media has the most prominent online sports presence in the UK. TEAMtalk is a great win for us, as having such a key online player come onboard illustrates the power of the metasearch argument.”

“With InfoSpace, TEAMtalk Media can offer their users the best results from the main search engines – Google, MSN, Yahoo! and more - all in one place. The service is private label and will therefore not detract from the TEAMtalk brands, in addition they will be receiving a search product with an excellent track record of reliability and customer support,” adds Trigg.

Initially only the search boxes at the top and bottom of TEAMtalk’s pages will be implemented. Within the following month however, users will also be able to download customised search toolbars to enhance their experience.

“We are always looking for ways to improve the user experience on our sites and these enhanced search and directory options will be a major boost,” says Andy Roberts, group marketing manager of TEAMtalk Media. “InfoSpace will power a search box across the top and bottom of every Web page, and will also enable our users to download RSS-enabled search toolbars for promotion and distribution via our network of sites.”
