1. Happy New Year 2005!

Thank you for your continued support in 2004. This year, we provided you with 6 free ARELIS updates, 6 IBP updates and 95 search engine script updates (that means that we published updates almost every 3 days).

Currently, we're developing a major new IBP version with many new features and improvements.

We think it will be the most exciting search engine optimization software release in 2005, but we won't let the cat out of the bag yet. :-)

The release date has not been set yet but it will be a free update to all registered IBP customers! Free updates to ARELIS are also on our list for 2005.

We wish you a happy and prosperous New Year!
