NEW YORK Internet advertising revenue dropped 16 percent in 2002 to $6 billion, according a report released today by the Interactive Advertising Bureau. Despite the year-over-year decline, 2002 ended on a high note with fourth-quarter revenue rising 9 percent to $1.6 billion from Q3.

The figures were from the IAB-sponsored Internet Revenue Report, conducted independently by the New Media Group of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“A number of factors that had been negatively impacting revenue growth seem to be turning favorable, including a modest rebound in overall advertising spending,” said Pete Petrusky, director of the New Media Group at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
