Vertro Releases Non-Financial Metrics for the First Half of Q3 2010

  Vertro, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRO) (NASDAQ: VTROD)
(1) today released certain non-financial metrics from continuing operations
for the first half of Q3 2010.

"As we pass the halfway point in the third quarter, we believe there is value in updating investors and other stakeholders with certain key non-financial metrics," commented Peter Corrao, Vertro's President and CEO.

"During our second quarter earnings call, we signaled our intention to increase our customer acquisition program to more aggressively expand our user base. We believe that the non-financial metrics we are releasing today emphasize this strategy and, based on these metrics, we continue to expect double digit sequential quarterly revenue growth for the third quarter, as well as breakeven EBITDA.
