Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K, including all statements other than statements of historical fact, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” The forward-looking statements include all representations concerning the Google penalty period. In addition to the uncertainty of all forward-looking information, there are specific risks identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011 that the Company faces that could cause actual results to be materially different from those that may be set forth in forward-looking statements made by the Company. There also may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial which could also impair its business and results of operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
