Compete, Inc. Ranked Number 19 in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program for New England

Attributes increasing importance of web analytics for marketers to its 997% Percent Revenue Growth

Boston, MA, September 21, 2007 — Compete, Inc., a leading web analytics company, has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for New England, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2002–2006.

Compete's CEO Donald McLagan credits Compete's unparalleled Web behavior insights and a rapidly-growing market with the company's 997 percent revenue growth from 2002–2006. McLagan said, “We are pleased to be recognized by Deloitte & Touche as a fast growing company. Marketing is rapidly shifting online. Our new services, such as attention based metrics and Search Analytics™, give marketers the insights they need to navigate this change successfully and that helps Compete grow.”

Compete's increase in revenues of 997 percent from 2002 to 2006 resulted in a 19th ranking in the Technology Fast 50 for New England. The average increase in revenues among companies who made the Technology Fast 50 for this region was 2137 percent.

“Deloitte’s New England Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today’s very competitive technology environment,” said Steve DiPietro, Partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and chair of the New England Technology Fast 50 Program. “To rank on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50, companies must have phenomenal revenue growth over five years. Compete has proven to be one of the fast-growth success stories in New England and we applaud their dedication to making their vision a reality.”

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.

Companies from the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
