SD Times was the fastest-growing IT publication in 2007

Our flagship publication, SD Times, was listed in the February 2008 issue of Media Business Magazine as having increased from 649.8 advertising pages in 2006 to 730.7 in 2007 – the largest increase of any print publication in the information-technology market.

Wa-hoo!!!

The year-on-year increase of +80.9 advertising pages was based on data provided to Media Business Magazine by The Auditor, a service of Toronto-based Inquiry Management Services (IMS).

BZ Media’s SD Times edged out 75 other IT publications, including Vertical Systems (+78.0 pages), Internet Retailer (+55.2 pages), Business Solutions (+53.7 pages) and Animation Magazine (+52.0 pages).

SD Times’ increase in advertising pages stands in sharp contrast to the recent declines across the industry. According to Media Business, only 19 of the IT publications tracked by The Auditor showed ad-page increases from 2006 to 2007.

Some of the well-known titles showing year-on-year declines include Think Services’ Dr. Dobb’s Journal (-9.0 pages), 1105 Media’s Redmond Magazine (-26.5 pages), TechWeb’s InformationWeek (-158.1 pages), IDG’s ComputerWorld (-99.9 pages) and CIO Magazine (-174.7 pages), Everything Channel’s CRN (-351.0 pages) and Ziff-Davis Enterprise’s Baseline (-192.8 pages) and eWeek (-454.0 pages).
