Company Invites Other Websites to Follow Their Lead

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 2004--Furthering corporate commitment to providing a quality user experience on its site and the Internet, PriceGrabber has introduced an initiative against pop-up and spyware advertising and is encouraging other websites to participate. To promote a better and more trustworthy experience on the Internet, PriceGrabber has pledged to its users that they will not find pop-up ads or pop-under ads served by the company on its site. Because PriceGrabber endorses a non-intrusive Internet experience, the company rejects any promotion of its brand through spyware advertising and will not support such programs.
PriceGrabber's no pop-up initiative includes an open letter to all customers expressing the company's aggressive stance against pop-up ads, pop-under ads, spyware, hidden ad-supported downloads and similar intrusive advertising programs. Additionally, PriceGrabber has prominently displayed a "Pop-Up Free" logo on its site and is encouraging other companies to post the logo, declaring their sites "Pop-Up & Spyware Ad Free."
