  <body-formatted>&lt;p&gt;All major online ad formats experienced
year-over-year revenue losses. Paid search advertising was least affected, display spending shrunk 12%, while classifieds lost 17%. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ad sales
declined across the board for all major online publishers, frequently in the double digits.&#160; Google, with low single-digit growth, was the sole exceptions. The biggest loser was
Monster.com - its 31% declineattributable both the to gasping job market as well as lagging classifieds demand.&#160; AOL was also singled out as&#160; one of the hardest-hit publishers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"We think the industry will continue to see losses in
the third and fourth quarters, but the growth rates &#8211; or the loss rates, if you
will &#8211; will eventually begin to improve. However, we also believe the industry
may have to wait until mid-2010 until it sees real growth again," said
IDC's Karsten Weide, program director, Digital Media and Entertainment. &lt;/p&gt;
