    LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Rambler Media Ltd. said it has agreed to sell its contextual advertising company ZAO Begun and related subsidiaries to Google Inc.

    for a total of $140 million.

    Rambler said it expects net gain from the sale to be around $50 million.

    The company also confirmed its revenue guidance between $100 million and $110 million for 2008, after allowing for the impact of not consolidating Begun in the fourth quarter of 2008.

    Rambler also confirmed its full year guidance of improving its EBITDA margin to between 20 percent and 25 percent, and said it expects this transaction to support further margin improvement in future years.

    Separately, Rambler said it has signed an agreement with Google, under which search queries made on Rambler's home page Rambler.ru and through the Rambler Search function will be enhanced by Google.

    Probably nothing if it's trademarked. Now that Google owns it, it's not worth it.

    Isn't that called cybersquatting? :confused:

    If your registration of it predates the company's existence, then you are sitting on a potential goldmine...if you play your hand right.

    Otherwise, I'm afraid it is as MakeThatDollar said.
