DBA TheDirectory.com (Pink Sheets:EYSM) announces this morning that it has solidified Agreements to secure Mr. Ted Haumesser to serve as its President and National Sales Director, effective October 1, 2010.

Our network of local vertical sites continues to increase SEO and web traffic toward overall ranking and exposure. Statistics show that the majority of online searchers prefer organic results over paid ads, and our team has the capabilities to implement this.
