LookSmart, Ltd. (NASDAQ:LOOK), a pay-per-click (PPC) search advertising network and technology solutions provider, today announced its ad network has been bolstered by the addition of 30 high-quality distribution partners, some of which resulted from expanding internationally into the UK and Australia. High-quality traffic, which offers search advertisers improved click-through and conversion rates in categories such as travel, technology and retail, has doubled while low-quality traffic has been cut in half.

"As we add top-quality traffic, we work vigilantly to maintain unsurpassed excellence throughout the network – our goal is to deliver superior ROI and conversion rates for all our search advertisers," said Ted West, chief executive officer and president of LookSmart. "Our LookSmart Network Management team weighs user conversion data and employs statistical models to gauge network quality and reporting in real time – ultimately delivering better value to our customers."

This service advantage allows search advertisers to attract highly targeted leads and maximize ROI, whether the campaign is global or targets a specific country or local market.
