Channel Blade Technologies and PowerandMotoryacht.com

Virginia Beach, VA -- October 19, 2006 -- Power & Motoryacht, the exclusive magazine for large powerboat owners, announced the redesign of Powerandmotoryacht.com and the completion of dealer Web inventory and lead integration with Channel Blade Technologies. Dealers and brokers on the Channel Blade Technologies Web platform with a Powerandmotoryacht.com account can now automatically feed their new, used, and brokered listings to Powerandmotoryacht.com at no additional charge. Customer inquiries generated by Powerandmotoryacht.com will also route to the dealer in real-time directly into their FOOTSTEPS lead management program.

This integration allows our mutual clients to seamlessly capitalize on the site traffic generated by Powerandmotoryacht.com to increase their inventory exposure and leads without requiring redundant data entry on the part of the dealer. This data feed is available at no additional charge for Channel Blade and Powerandmotoryacht.com customers. Register for the data feed today by contacting Channel Blade directly.

About Power & Motoryacht
