NEW YORK, November 20, 2000 - AdRelevance, a Jupiter Media Metrix company (NASDAQ: JMXI) and innovator in next-generation Internet advertising measurement technology, today announced that the number of new companies advertising online has more than doubled since January - growing by 157 percent over the past ten months. The latest findings are released in conjunction with the launch of the AdRelevance Hot 100 online advertising measurement tool - a fresh batch of the 100 newest online advertisers every week, complete with the media value of their ad buys.

Top-line findings from the AdRelevance research, which tracked and analyzed traditional and dot-com advertisers coming online for the first time between January 2000 and October 2000, include:

• The number of new companies advertising online is growing at an average rate of 14 percent per month.
• Twenty-four percent (949 companies) of all advertisers in the month of January 2000 (3,963 companies) were new to the web. While traditional advertisers accounted for approximately 41 percent of the top 100 new online advertisers in January 2000, they make up close to 50 percent in October 2000 - with dot-com companies rounding out the other half.
• More than 1,000 companies a month have advertised online for the first time since March 2000. Third quarter of this year saw 5,489 new advertisers coming online - far surpassing first quarter (2,935 new advertisers) and second quarter (3,879 new advertisers).
• Planet Project was the number one new online advertiser for October 2000, running a campaign with 110,000,000 impressions. Other top new advertisers for the month - a mixture of traditional and dot-com businesses - include: Major League Soccer (30,000,000 impressions), Norelco (16,000,000), Saks Fifth Avenue (11,000,000), 1800LUGGAGE.com (9,200,000), mailsweeps.com (6,800,000) and education.com (7,500,000). [See Table B below for complete list]

"The latest AdRelevance data clearly illustrate that new advertisers are coming online on a regular basis. Despite a financially slower third quarter, it's interesting to note that far more advertisers came online for the first time in August than in any month prior to it this year," said Charlie Buchwalter, vice president of media research for AdRelevance. "Even more compelling is the fact that new traditional advertisers are growing at a faster rate than new dot-com advertisers. Fifty percent of the AdRelevance Hot 100 advertisers in October were traditional companies - in January they only made up 41 percent."
