"Second quarter 2006 was an exceptional sales execution and product delivery quarter. We generated record revenue, signed up a record number of new customers and achieved record new contract bookings for WebSideStory HBX Analytics, Visual Sciences and WebSideStory Search and Publish," said Jeff Lunsford, chairman and CEO of WebSideStory. "Our investments in innovative new products led to prestigious industry recognition. We experienced increased lead flow across all product suites as a result. We believe the strong momentum built in the second quarter will lead to solid revenue growth and margin expansion in the third quarter. We are especially pleased with the 93% growth generated by the Visual Sciences Division and with the innovative technology coming out of our HBX Analytics and WebSideStory Search development labs. We feel great about the health of our markets and the strength of our product and service lines. Our digital marketing solutions are part of a high-growth market sector which we believe will continue to fuel our expansion in the years ahead.
