In 2009, those 21 categories posted an aggregate loss of 28.6 percent. In December, b-to-b ad pages actually grew, up 1.9 percent, making it one of three months in 2010 (the others include October--up 0.55 percent and July--up 0.34 percent) that showed gains over 2009, according to BIN. More of this story from min's b2b sister publication Folio: Full-year data for the 218 titles IMS/The Auditor tracks for min’s b2b shows that almost half (99) showed ad page gains for the January-December period compared to 2009.
