In fact, in their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcpitstop.com\/offsite.asp?http:\/\/www.hoovers.com\/free\/co\/secdoc.xhtml?ipage=2723312&#038;doc=0&#038;attach=on\">SEC S1 filing<\/a> (Note: <i>4 megabyte<\/i> document!) they had revenues of over $100 million dollars! Many of those advertisers are not aware how users have been <a href=\"?p=241\">unwittingly drafted<\/a> into Claria&#8217;s ad network via <a href=\"?p=230\">confusing tactics<\/a>. The challenge for us is to get the message to these companies, and there is one group that can effectively deliver that message: customers and potential customers. <\/p>\n<h3>Make your voice heard<\/h3>\n<p> Below is a list of Claria&#8217;s biggest advertisers compiled from Gator&#8217;s S1 filing with the SEC. Do you see any companies on the list whose products or services you use? How does it make you feel to know that their money&#8211;<i>your<\/i> money&#8211;is going to Claria? If you are one of the many users who has found Claria software on your PC and know that you didn&#8217;t give it permission to be there, let these companies know. Tell them they should find a better way to reach their potential customers, and that you have no interest in doing business with a company that supports Claria. <\/p>\n<h3>Yahoo\/Overture<\/h3>\n<p> Nearly one-third of Claria&#8217;s revenue comes from its deal with Overture, now part of Yahoo. We&#8217;ve taken a look at <a href=\"?p=240\">Search Scout<\/a>, the program that pops up Overture ads when Claria is running, and were unimpressed.  Given Yahoo&#8217;s reputation in the Internet industry and the  <a href=\"?p=242\">harm that Claria can do to Yahoo&#8217;s own sites<\/a>,  it&#8217;s very surprising that they have continued their relationship with Claria. Can consumer feedback change their minds? We hope so. Go to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/help.yahoo.com\/\">http:\/\/help.yahoo.com<\/a> and click on the &#8220;Ad feedback&#8221; link at the bottom of the page. Also, send feedback directly to the Overture division at <a href=\"mailto:feedback@overture.com\">feedback@overture.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3>Claria&#8217;s Top 20 Advertisers<\/h3>\n<p> If you currently use or have considered using the products and services of any of these companies, let them know that you do not approve of Claria&#8217;s methods. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\"> Advertisers: Please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcpitstop.com\/contact.asp\">let us know<\/a> if you would like to comment regarding your company&#8217;s relationship with Claria, or if you would like to change your contact information. Our goal is to make your company aware of consumer concerns about Claria. Let us know when you&#8217;ve gotten the message. <\/p>\n<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Advertiser<\/td>\n<td><b>Address<\/td>\n<td><b>Email<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.americansingles.com\">American Singles<\/a><\/td>\n<td>8383 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 800<br \/>Beverly Hills, CA 90211<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mailto:Investor@MatchNet.com\">Investor@MatchNet.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amerix.com\">Amerix Mortgage<\/a><\/td>\n<td>8930 Stanford Boulevard<br \/>Columbia, Maryland 21045<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mailto:clucas@ascendone.com\">clucas@ascendone.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.buy.com\">Buy.com<\/a><\/td>\n<td>85 Enterprise Suite 100<br \/>Aliso Viejo, California 92656<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mailto:pr@buy.com\">pr@buy.com<\/a><\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cendant.com\">Cendant<\/a><\/td>\n<td>9 West 57th Street <br \/> New York, NY 10019<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"mailto:investor.relations@cendant.com\">investor.relations@cendant.com<\/a><\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.date.com\">Date.Com<\/a><\/td>\n<td>1328 Broadway Suite 524-71<br \/>New York, NY 10001<\/td>\n<td><i>(No longer advertises with Claria!)<\/i><\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eharmony.com\">eHarmony<\/a><\/td>\n<td>300 N.
