 ADVFN.COM PLC ANNOUNCES EXCEPTIONAL GROWTH IN ITS USER BASE
                 AND DAILY PAGE IMPRESSIONS

ADVFN  one  of  the  UK's  leading  on-line  resources   for
financial information, today announces that it has  exceeded
expectations  for  unique user visits and also  reached  the
milestone of 1.5 million page impressions per weekday.

These latest figures further confirm ADVFN's position as one
of  the  UK's  leading  financial websites  specialising  in
content aimed at UK- based investors.

New  service  levels launched on the 1st  August  2000  have
resulted  in  a  dramatic increase in  public  awareness  of
ADVFN, demonstrated by the 100% growth in ADVFN's
user base since that time.

ADVFN's  position  is  further strengthened  by  advertisers
wishing  to  reach  a  premium  audience.   The  company  is
currently  in  discussions  with  various  organisations  to
broaden  the site's range of sponsorship and further develop
special relationships and partnerships.

Michael  Boydell,  Managing Director of ADVFN  commented  on
today's Announcement:

   'We have reached a critically important milestone  in
   the  development of our UK website at a significantly
   faster  rate  than projected.  In less  than  a  year
   since  launching  our site to the public,  ADVFN  has
   continued to surpass target page impression  numbers.
   ADVFN  has seen 300% growth in page impressions since
   the  launch of its new services on 1st August and has
   seen  an  overall growth of 1200% since flotation  in
   March.   We  are pleased that in less  than  a  year,
   ADVFN  has clearly joined the elite group of  top  UK
   Websites.
   
   The  launch  of our French website is on  course  for
   October  and  we  look  forward  to  replicating  our
   success in Europe.'
