And based on its <a href="http://ir.local.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=181515&amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;ID=1285332&amp;highlight=">Q1 results</a>, the company continues to get traction. Revenues came to $11.1 million, up 16% over the past year. There was a net loss of $2.9 million or 20 cents, but the company was able to post positive cash flow.</p>
<p>In the quarter, search traffic reached 60 million monthly unique visitors (from both network sites and Local.com). This represented an 18% increase over Q4 and 32% spike over the past year. True, revenue per thousand visitors was down 11% to $246, but this is to be expected in the slow economic environment. </p>
<p>Actually, Local.com is using its cash to pick up customer bases. For example, last month the company acquired 14,200 local business customers for $3.1 million. There was also a purchase of 11,800 web hosting customers in February (for $1.2 million). </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/07/local-com-in-growth-mode/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Local.com: In growth mode</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/07/local-com-in-growth-mode/">Local.com: In growth mode</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 07 May 2009 12:30:00 EST.
