Press Release Body = The online niche of virtual map-based advertising is growing
rapidly and http://www.VirtualWorldRealEstate.com is quickly becoming the best known
website catering to this niche. The site launched January 7th and is quickly
gaining ground.

\"This is a really new idea that we believe will revolutionize the online advertising
market," said Creator of VirtualWorldRealEstate.com, Gary Ewell. \"By combining
pixel advertising and a virtual and interactive map of the world, advertisers are
able to reach people around their geographic location as well as anyone around the
world.

Map based advertisement is a hybrid of virtual maps and pixel based advertising
sites that allows businesses and even individuals to purchase \"virtual real estate\"
that will appear on the map online. With this \"virtual real estate\", the link to
their website and other contact information is displayed when visitors look on the
map.

However, imitators of VirtualWorldRealEstate.com are popping up and according to Mr.
Ewell, there are at least six new map based advertisers that have come about after
his original site launched.

There has also been a large amount of press coverage about
VirtualWorldRealEstate.com and a great amount of interest from the public. Already,
the site has grossed around $2,000 and has had several large property auctions on
eBay for lucrative property from cities like London and New York. These auctions
have also netted the site publicity and new viewers and advertisers.

VirtualWorldRealEstate.com is unlike other sites because it operates on a dynamic
virtual map whose size can be changed and the \"zoom in\" and \"zoom out\" features are
enabled. This makes it possible for visitors to see advertisers in their local
area. Furthermore, anyone is able to view these advertisements, which allows
traffic from around the world to visit an advertisement on the map. This combines
the best in local advertisements and online advertisements to create a hybrid, which
benefits both advertisers and web visitors.

However, the map is limited in advertising locations so the price is quickly
increasing, especially for well-known property in major cities and other
well-trafficked areas. Reports are that the map may fill up within 3-4 months,
because of the rapid and exponential growth associated with sites of this type.

\"We are already seeing rapid growth from this site and believe that a lot more is
still to come\" said Mr. Ewell. He went on to say, \"I really think that this is the
new breed of \'Million Dollar Homepages\' as we are providing both a service for
visitors and advertisers.\"
