BIZ REPORT — May 7 — Online hubs Ask.com, CitySearch and Match.com helped boost IAC's Q1 revenue 10%. Revenue reached $1.6 billion in Q1 as the company launched a huge campaign to promote the Ask.com hub. FULL ARTICLE @ BIZ REPORT
Mark Brooks: Match revenue is up 12% to $82.4 million for Q1 due to US price increases and a 1% worldwide rise in membership. Most of the growth came from abroad. Marketing costs are up, but other costs are down. International growth was 13%. Operating income is up 306% to $8.2 million. Match has tightened its belt, pushed a higher % of its budget to marketing spends, and is being more aggressive and edgy with its messaging. i.e. Chemistry.com ads, Match ads on MySpace. So far its working.

When looking at company earnings, that are international, and many online companies are, you have to consider the effect of the falling dollar. If you have a USA company say Match.com for example that collects Euro revenue I think you will see a fall even if the market is expanding becasue of the fall of the dollar. All these things have to be factored in.
