INTERNET.COM/EARTHWEB ADOPT LARGE CREATIVE SIZES AS ONLINE STANDARD

(New York, NY - September 5, 2001) - INT Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: INTM) today announced that its internet.com and EarthWeb Network of Web sites are the first in the information technology (IT) sector to adopt "large" creative as standard sizes for online advertising.

"IT marketers are demanding more effective methods of reaching IT buyers, and the large creative sizes that we have implemented are delivering results. Providing large-creative opportunities across our 160 Web sites gives marketers an edge that they can't achieve elsewhere," said Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of INT Media Group. "An analysis of response rates across our networks demonstrates that users are motivated to interact with these new creative sizes," added Meckler.

Effective today, all internet.com and EarthWeb Network sites accommodate at least two varieties of large creative. All sites offer 750x100 "billboard" advertising creative, and either a 360x300 or 125x800 skyscraper unit. All of the new banner sizes are capable of accommodating a wide variety of rich media creative units.

For more information about advertising on internet.com and EarthWeb, call Chris Elwell, VP and General Manager, 203-662-2837, or e-mail [email protected].
