:EINC EINC Equivalent Input Noise Current ) EquityAlert.com, Inc. (Symbol: EINC), one of the fastest growing online trader exclusive communities (www.equityalert.com), today announced that its popular news alert service forwarded just under 2.2 million unique news alerts during the month of October, the first full month of this service.

Also during the month of October, the Company's subscriber account base surpassed 215,000 members, an increase of 79% in just 30 days.

"Now, with over 215,000 subscriber accounts, EquityAlert.com ranks among the top handful of financial Websites anywhere," comments Mr. Gurm Kundan, vice president of EquityAlert.com. "The significance of this cannot be taken lightly. CMGI's (Nasdaq:CMGI CMGI Commonly Maintained Grounds Infrastructures

) Ragingbull.com, for example, took one year to grow from 7,500 members to a recent 200,000, and SiliconInvestor.com, which is owned by Go2Net (Nasdaq:GNET GNET Global Network of Environment and Technology

), which was founded in 1996, announced they had a total of 94,000 subscribers. In contrast, EquityAlert.com was able to surpass 215,000 members in less than five months.

"At our present rate of subscriber growth and the resultant growth in email volume, we're projecting over 3 million 'opt-in' email alerts in the month of November, our second full month, and just under 5 million unique email news and research alerts in December. At this rate, we'll start the new year with a 60 million annualized annualized

 e-mail rate. That's a lot of messages that can each carry an advertisement for potential clients."

Mr. Kundan continues, "Once we reach these monthly email projections, we'll be able to follow such successful opt-in email business models being used by such notable companies as Lycos (Nasdaq:LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) A technology used to make microdisplays for rear-projection TVs and head-mounted displays (HMDs). Each LCoS chip hosts a grayscale LCD shutter sandwiched between a cover glass and a mirror. ) and internet.com corporation (Nasdaq:INTM INTM Interrupt Mode ). Internet.com is an operator of business-to-business vertical content websites and e-mail newsletters which delivered 10.4 million copies of their e-mail newsletters in June alone.

"Unlike banner ads A graphic image used on Web sites to advertise a product or service. Banner ads come in numerous sizes, but are often rectangles 460 pixels wide by 60 pixels high. Also 460 x 55 and 392 x 72 sizes are commonly used.  and other forms of online marketing, the continued development of our 'opt in' email list is a valuable 'revenue generating asset' that will eventually allow us begin realizing some of our financial goals. In fact, some 'opt-in' email marketers, such as postmasterdirect.com, are getting response rates as high as 15%, compared to just 1% click-through rates The number of times a link on a Web page is clicked compared to the number of times it is displayed. Advertising royalties paid to Web sites are often based on click-through rate (CTR), and the amount paid per click-through is considerably higher than the cost of an ad that is displayed  for banner ads." Mr. Kundan concludes, "Online advertising is big business, and getting bigger by the day. In fact, online advertising is expected to grow from a current $3 billion per year market to over $22 billion by the year 2004."
