About.com took the lead with the gains in May even though the overall ad revenues decreased 8.5%.
May advertsing revenues rising 32.6% year-over-year to $7.4 million, About.com credits both cost-per-click and display advertising. There is also attribution given to the recent aquisitions of UCompareHealthCare.com and ConsumerSearch.com.
