Over 70 news outlets, including various television, radio and newspaper sites, picked up the release which was viewed in its entirety 257 times as of Thursday, while the headline, “eZanga Relocates to House Growing Workforce”, captured 2,174 views.

Among the noted outlets featuring the article included Market Watch, Yahoo Finance, Morning Star, Web 2.0 Journal, News and Observer and Wall Street Select. Here’s what it said:

MIDDLETOWN, Del. — eZanga Inc. (www.eZanga.com), a search engine and online advertising company, has relocated its headquarters to 222 Carter Drive in Middletown, Delaware, a 15,000 square foot Class A, two-story office building.

eZanga’s new office in the building will occupy 7,500 square feet, providing the company with the space necessary to house 66 employees. The company now plans to increase the size of its workforce in the new location, adding members to both its sales and new business development teams, as interest in the company’s online advertising services has grown.

“We brought on new personnel who have helped us grow to the point where we needed to move,” said Richard K. Kahn, CEO of eZanga. “Now that our business has expanded in a variety of areas, we’ll be doing so at our new headquarters and look forward to this trend continuing.” eZanga recently opened a branch office in Norwalk, Connecticut, in response to increased local interest in its services.

On March 9, 2009, DMNews published an article concerning the economic turmoil being faced by most Americans, and how it is effecting online search and advertising behaviors. Quoted in the article, “Search shift fuels recession-friendly keyword strategy,” was eZanga CEO, Rich Kahn. Rich provides a positive and professional opinion regarding the change in recent search trends. The article states:

Rich Kahn, CEO of search marketing company and search engine eZanga, agreed. “We always see changes in searching, but interestingly enough what we are seeing is an increase in searching” he said. “I believe that more people are using the Internet to find the better deals and get more research on what they buy, before they buy.”

It is reassuring to read an optimisitic outlook on such a bleak topic. Click here to read the article in its entirety.
