For the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31,
2011
Search & Applications revenue increased 41% to $1.5 billion, reflecting strong
growth from both Applications (which includes our direct to consumer
downloadable applications business (B2C) and our partnership operations (B2B),
as well as our
Ask.com and Dictionary.com downloadable applications) and Websites (which includes Ask.com, About.com and Dictionary.com). Applications revenue grew 40% to $755.4 million, driven by 25% query growth and year over year monetization gains driven by increased contributions from existing and new partners and products. Websites revenue grew 42% to $710.4 million, reflecting 49% query growth driven primarily by increased marketing and site optimization. The growth in Websites revenue reflects the contribution from The About Group, acquired September 24, 2012, which had revenue of $30.1 million.
Match revenue increased 38% to $713.4 million benefiting from the full year contribution of Meetic, which was consolidated beginning September 1, 2011, and growth within our Core operations, partially offset by a decrease in Developing revenue. Core revenue, which consists of Match.com in the U.S., Chemistry and People Media, increased 10% to $439.9 million driven by an increase in subscribers. Revenue at Meetic in 2012 and 2011 of $206.7 million and $46.1 million, respectively, was negatively impacted by the write-off of $5.2 million and $32.6 million, respectively, of deferred revenue in connection with its acquisition. Developing revenue, which includes OkCupid, DateHookup and Match's international operations, excluding Meetic, decreased 9% to $66.9 million, despite strong growth from OkCupid, due to lower subscription revenue from our Latin America venture and Singlesnet. Excluding Meetic in both years, revenue grew 7% to $506.8 million.
Local revenue increased 6% to $322.6 million, primarily reflecting growth from HomeAdvisor's operations. HomeAdvisor domestic revenue grew due to higher average lead acceptance fees. HomeAdvisor international revenue grew due to a 25% increase in accepted service requests and higher average lead acceptance fees. CityGrid Media revenue increased due to the contribution of Felix, a pay-per-call advertising service acquired August 20, 2012, and higher reseller revenue, partially offset by a decline in direct sales revenue.
Media revenue increased 135% to $164.8 million primarily due to the contribution
from News_Beast (formerly The Newsweek/DailyBeast Company), consolidated
beginning June 1, 2012 following the Company's acquisition of a controlling
interest, as well as strong growth from Electus and Vimeo.
For the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31,
2010
Search & Applications revenue increased 29% to $1.0 billion, reflecting strong
growth from both Applications and Websites. Applications revenue grew 43% to
$540.4 million, reflecting increased contribution from both existing and new
partners and new products. Websites revenue grew 17% to $500.1 million,
reflecting strong query gains driven primarily by increased marketing and
content optimization.
Match revenue increased 29% to $518.0 million benefiting from growth within its Core and Developing operations and the contribution of Meetic, which was consolidated beginning September 1, 2011. Core revenue increased 18% to $398.6 million driven by an increase in subscribers. Developing revenue increased 19% to $73.3 million driven primarily from display advertising revenue from the early 2011 acquisition of OkCupid, as well as from Match's venture with Meetic in Latin America, which was included for only part of the prior year, partially offset by lower subscription revenue from Singlesnet. Revenue at Meetic of $46.1 million was negatively impacted by the write-off of $32.6 million of deferred revenue in connection with its acquisition. Excluding Meetic, revenue grew 18% to $471.9 million. Revenue in the prior year was negatively impacted by the write-off of $4.1 million in deferred revenue associated with the Singlesnet acquisition and the formation of our venture with Meetic in Latin America in early 2010.
Local revenue increased 15% to $303.4 million, benefiting from growth in both HomeAdvisor's operations. HomeAdvisor domestic revenue growth reflects an 8% increase in accepted service requests, which was driven, in part, by a 9% increase in service requests. HomeAdvisor domestic growth also reflects an increase in revenue from website design and hosting services. HomeAdvisor international revenue growth reflects a 43% increase in accepted service requests, which was driven, in part, by a 44% increase in service requests and a 15% increase in home services professionals. CityGrid Media revenue increased primarily due to growth from existing resellers and increased display advertising.
Media revenue increased 41% to $70.2 million primarily reflecting growth at Electus, Notional and Vimeo, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from The Daily Beast, which following the formation of the joint venture with Harman Newsweek on January 31, 2011, was accounted for as an equity method investment beginning February 1, 2011.

resulted from increased online marketing. Cost of revenue from Media increased
primarily due to News_Beast, consolidated beginning June 1, 2012, and increased
production costs at Electus related to the increase in its revenue. The increase

partially offset by a decrease in customer acquisition costs.

increases from Vimeo and Notional, partially offset by a decrease from The Daily
Beast, which was accounted for as an equity method investment beginning February
1, 2011 as described above in the Revenue discussion. Cost of revenue from Local
increased primarily due to an increase in traffic acquisition costs at CityGrid
Media. The increase from Match is primarily due to the acquisition of Meetic.

For the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31,
2011
Search & Applications Operating Income Before Amortization increased 53% to
$313.1 million, benefiting from the higher revenue noted above and a decrease of
$10.5 million in depreciation, partially offset by increases of $187.2 million
in selling and marketing expense and $122.0 million in traffic acquisition
costs. The decrease in depreciation is due to certain fixed assets becoming
fully depreciated in 2011 and the write-off of $4.9 million in capitalized
software costs associated with the exit of the Company's direct sponsored
listings business in 2011. The increase in selling and marketing expense is
driven primarily by increased online marketing expenditures related to Ask.com
and existing B2C downloadable applications. The increase in traffic acquisition
costs is primarily due to increased revenue from our B2B operations.
Match Operating Income Before Amortization increased 44% to $225.8 million, primarily due to the contribution from Meetic and higher Core revenue noted above. Operating Income Before Amortization, excluding Meetic, was impacted by increases in selling and marketing expense and product development expense, partially offset by decreases in cost of revenue and general and administrative expense. The increase in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to an increase in offline marketing spend. Product development expense increased from 2011 primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs due, in part, to an increase in headcount.

depreciation, and lower product development expense as a percentage of revenue,
partially offset by increases of $111.2 million in traffic acquisition costs and
$66.8 million in selling and marketing expense. The decrease in general and
administrative expense is primarily due to a decrease in compensation and other
employee-related costs, lower professional fees, including a decrease in
litigation related expenses, and the inclusion in 2010 of lease termination
costs associated with the Ask.com restructuring. The decrease in depreciation is
due to the write-off of certain assets in the prior year, partially offset by
the write-off of $4.9 million in capitalized software costs in the third quarter
of 2011 associated with the exit from our direct sponsored listings business. As
a percentage of revenue, product development expense decreased primarily due to
staff reductions that took place during the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase
in traffic acquisition costs is primarily due to the increase in revenue. As a
percentage of revenue, traffic acquisition costs increased over the prior year
