Announcing Fort Worth Slate - A Directory for Every Day

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
February 26, 2008

The Marketing Shop.com, a real estate web marketing firm located in Dallas / Fort Worth
is announcing the launch of it’s new Fort Worth Directory. Fort Worth Slate.com. This
directory will serve as a web portal to Tarrant County by providing useful information for
residents and those who are relocating to Fort Worth and the surrounding Tarrant
County suburbs. The site is search engine optimized and will be maintained with up-to-the-minute information about Fort Worth and surrounding cities.

Fort Worth Slate.com will begin offering advertising space on the site early in the second
quarter. President and CEO, Jenna Ryan states that the site will “benefit web searchers
throughout Fort Worth, Mid Cities, Aledo, Azle, Benbrook, Crowley and beyond by providing
informative content about local restraunts, hair salons, golf courses and real estate agents.”

Fort Worth Slate will provide extensive coverage of the real estate market throughout Tarrant
County by offering maps and links to local MLS Home Listings, extensive Neighborhood Data
as well as Tarrant County Home Builder information.

“This site will be like a Yellow Pages on the web that is optimized for search,” says Jenna Ryan.
People are going onto the web to find the products and services they need, but there is a shortage
of local contractors and quality professionals in the top of search results. The only way to get to
the top is to pay for it through pay-per-click advertising or natural search engine optimization.

Both pay-per-click and natural search engine optimization (SEO) is out-of-reach for the average
home contractor. Most contractors do not have the time to learn SEO, and they don’t have the
thousands of dollars it takes to maintain a website at the top of the search results of Google and
Yahoo.

We have created our directory to cater to those individuals that need to be on page one of Google
with price-points that are affordable for the every day person. Contractors that do things such as
pest control, handy man services and carpet cleaners will have a venue for advertising their respective
businesses without having to spend a fortune for natural Search Engine Optimization.

Ms. Ryan also says that the site will benefit her existing Fort Worth Real Estate Clients, Mays Realty.com
specializing in Fort Worth Homes and Fort Worth Realtor, Clarke Gillespie.
