Monstermoving.com's October Traffic Soars Past 3 Million Unique Visitors; 1,358% Traffic Increase Marks One-Year Anniversary

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2001--Monstermoving.com, a leading online source of relocation information and a division of Monster.com(R), the flagship brand of TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW), today announced a record 3 million unique visitors in the month of October. This traffic milestone, according to leading Internet and digital media measurement company, Media Metrix, represents a 1,358% increase in monthly site visitors since the site launched in October 2000.

"This has been a tremendous year for our business," said Tom Zorn, president, Monstermoving.com. "Since our launch last October, the company has experienced exciting growth and expansion in both our corporate and consumer offerings. We have grown our relationships with current clients and expanded valuable features and offerings to meet the complex needs of the moving consumer. As a result, record numbers of consumers and clients are turning to Monstermoving.com as a trusted source of essential relocation resources."

Monstermoving.com's October traffic represents a 153% increase over the month of September. Two key site features contributed to this outstanding traffic growth: the Monstermoving Mortgage Center and the Monstermoving Real Estate Agent Network. As market conditions continue to fluctuate, consumers exploring ways to trim costs and save money are recognizing the value of Monstermoving.com. Traffic to the Monstermoving Mortgage Center more than doubled in October, indicating that record numbers of consumers are flocking to the web to take advantage of declining interest rates. Unlike many other mortgage sites, the Monstermoving Mortgage Center allows consumers to shop rates, select lenders that meet their individual requirements, fill out an online mortgage pre-application and secure the best possible mortgage, maximizing their savings.

Monstermoving.com's Real Estate Agent Network also experienced a significant traffic increase in October. This free, online service matches home buyers and sellers with experienced agents based on the specific needs of the customer. The Monstermoving Real Estate Agent Network rewards consumers with cash back incentives based on the sale or purchase price of the home. For example, the sale of a $275,000 home would result in a cash back incentive to the seller exceeding $1000. Consumers can use the cash back incentive to help offset real estate-related costs, such as title insurance, moving costs, or the purchase of new appliances.
