New York, New York - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - November 12, 2008 - Search engine and media technology solutions company, Jupitermedia Corporation, has released its quarterly financial reports for the period ending September 30, 2008.

Alan M. Meckler,Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia noted, ”In a very difficult business environment we have some significant highlights. Revenues from our JupiterimagesUnlimited royalty-free subscription offering grew over 100% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. We continue to experience significant growth from our Stockxpert.com microstock offering, both with single images and subscriptions. Our Online Media division continues to be impacted by the economy, which has put pressure on our advertising and job board sales. We have, however, made progress in reducing operating expenses, specifically with our costs of sales and general and administrative expenses. In addition, we have made additional investments in our Online Media business, with the launch of three new blogs focused on Mobile media and a new event, UGCX, which is focused on user generated content and social networks.”

  • Revenues for the third quarter of 2008 were $31.0 million compared to revenues of $34.8 million for the same period last year.
