BREAKING NEWS – According to an inside source VoiceStar, a leading phone-to-web marketing tracking and solutions provider has just been acquired by Marchex Search Marketing for an undisclosed sum.

Congratulations Marchex! From my dealings with VoiceStar so far and what I know of their incredible solutions this is one exceptional buy.

In the interest of full disclosure this news came first hand from a top VoiceStar employee but lacked details so I do not know whether the acquisition has completed or is in final talks but the phrase “we just got bought” was stated very succinctly.

Barry Schwartz just notified me that Greg Sterling over at Search Engine Land updated the public about an hour and a half after my release. Apparently the reported purchase came to the tune of $28 Million.
