FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Think Partnership Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results

Record Revenues - up 87%; Record EBITDA - up 122%

CLEARWATER, Fla. — August 10, 2006 —  Think Partnership. (AMEX:THK), an international leader in interactive performance-based marketing and related Internet technologies, reported financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2006.

As compared to the previous quarter and same period a year ago:

·                  Revenues were $19.3 million, up 60% from $12.1 million in the previous quarter and up 87% from $10.3 million a year ago.

·                  Net Income was $72.9 thousand, up from a loss of $0.7 million in the previous quarter, and down from $0.2 million a year ago.

·                  Fully diluted earnings per common share were a loss of $(0.03), a decrease compared to a loss of ($0.02) in the previous quarter, and $0.01 per share in the same period a year ago. The loss is primarily due to a preferred dividend payment of $0.6 million and accretion of preferred redeemable stock of $0.9 million.

·                  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”) were $2.0 million, up 555% from $0.3 million reported in the previous quarter, and up 122% from $0.9 million reported a year ago. A reconciliation of EBITDA to income from operations is included at the end of this release.

Other Q2 2006 Highlights

·                  Acquired Litmus Media, Inc., which adds unique click fraud prevention and abandoned shopping cart re-marketing technologies for the performance-based advertising, search marketing, and e-retailing industries.

·                  Acquired iLead Media, an industry leader in online sales lead generation, and recognized by the Internet’s affiliate advertising industry for its “Best Practices.”

·                  Acquired Web Diversity Limited, a leading paid search management and organic search company, which expanded the company’s paid search management and organic search business to Europe and Asia.

·                  Closed equity financing of $26.5 million to fund acquisition of Litmus Media and general corporate purposes.

·                  President Scott P. Mitchell, an accomplished senior manager and noted for helping launch HSN.com, Rollingstone.com, and Tunes.com, assumed the role of chief executive officer and was appointed to the board of directors.

·                  Added legendary entrepreneur Bob Geras, respected investor George Mellon, and technology innovator Josh Metnick to the board of directors.




·                  Opened new offices in Hong Kong to serve business throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including China, Japan, and Australia.

·                  Engaged Liolios Group, Inc. to lead investor relations and financial communications efforts, and help build long-term relationships with leading analysts, money managers and institutions.

“Think Partnership continued to expand its industry leadership position this quarter while also undergoing a significant transformation,” said Think Partnership’s CEO and president, Scott Mitchell. “This included transitions to new senior management, new corporate governance, new acquisitions, and a revolutionary integration of our subsidiaries and divisions.

“While some of these changes will take a few quarters to become fully realized, initial benefits can be seen in better product and cross-divisional integration, product roadmap, and particularly record revenue and EBITDA.”

Continued Mitchell, “Our consumer services division experienced some decline.  However George Douaire, the new president of that division, has been installed to direct change and correct these issues. His exceptional track record within Think Partnership has already been demonstrated and some of his recent changes have had a significant impact. We expect to see accelerated growth and profitability across the board as we continue to integrate our recent acquisitions, as well as drive new operational efficiencies and strategic business relationships throughout the organization.

“Our focus continues to be on developing and expanding our products, services, technology, and talent — all of which makes Think Partnership a world-class, performance-based interactive marketing company. We are now managing tremendous worldwide opportunities that have set us on an excellent course for the balance of 2006 and beyond.”
