Red, part of the (RED) brand established to raise awareness and money to invest 
in African AIDS programs, received a dramatic online boost through its promotion
on MySpace last month, resulting in it becoming the 3rd most visited Humanitarian
site in October.

In the week of the promotion, MySpace accounted for 89.5% of upstream visits to (
PRODUCT) Red and MySpace Mail was the No. 2 referrer of visits, accounting for 3.83%
of website visits.

MySpace members received two emails from MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson, encouraging
them to become friends of (RED). The email directed members to (RED)’s MySpace profile
myspace.com/joinred which includes links to (PRODUCT) Red and other related websites.(
PRODUCT) Red became the No. 18 downstream website from MySpace, which last week 
ranked No. 10 based on share of UK internet visits among all categories of websites.

Brands associated with (RED) also benefited from the MySpace promotion. Converse
Online received 9.34% of downstream visits from (PRODUCT) Red during the promotion,
Gap received 7.9%, and American Express 2.16%.
