BuySellMerge.com, a wholly owned Subsidiary of First Guardian Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets: FGFC), today announced the status and progress of its www.BuySellMerge.com Portal Website unit.

The company has been working diligently to complete phase one of the Portal, even though we have made significant strides, we are still adding and building and are not yet completed with phase one.

The company has signed an agreement with Google to provide the Portal with search capabilities and advertising predicated on our desired market target (only business related), of which the company will realize revenues from Google every time one of our visitors clicks on a Google sponsored ad. We are also negotiating with other big name content providers with similar arrangements. The company will also feature its own BuySellMerge sponsored advertising that will pay a higher rate of revenue along with banner advertising, premium membership services for Provider of Services and Seeker of Services, online do it your self features and sponsored links.

The company uses eapps to provide the following additional hosting and applications for the Portal Advanced Plus VPS - Ruby/Java/LAMP, Apache 2.0.52, Apache module mod perl, Apache module mod ssl, imap, IPTables, J2RE, J2SDK, JBoss4, Mod Jk, MySQL Server v5, Control Panel, SSH and other certain administrative functions and applications. The company has also acquired a license for a SSL Cert from VeriSign Secure, that is required for an interactive portal of this magnitude. VeriSign Inc (www.verisign.com) operates intelligent infrastructure services that enable and protect billions of interactions every day across the world's voice and data networks. Every day, VeriSign process as many as 18 billion Internet interactions and support over 100 million phone calls.

VeriSign is a global enterprise with offices throughout the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, Latin America, and North America, supported by a widespread international network of data centers and operations.

The company has been working on a fierce fast track basis to get the Portal’s phase one completed so that we can move into phase two which will include a host of interactive features, including but limited to, web enabled subscription applications. "We are very pleased with the efforts of Dr. Cheng and Mr. Mohamed and their development team with the effort being put forth into this project and their determination to be the outstanding business Portal on the World Wide Web," said Abraham Rosenman, President First Guardian Financial Corporation

Mr. Mohamed also added, “That once phase two is completed and we have the look, feel, content and services we will embark on a major marketing campaign to drive traffic to the site, we still have much more work to do we do predict a site that will generate substantial traffic.”
