JUPITERMEDIA ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF 4TH ANNUAL SEARCHENGINEWATCH.COM AWARDS AT SEARCH ENGINE STRATEGIES EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY

(New York, NY - March 1, 2004) - The winners of the 4th Annual SearchEngineWatch.com Awards -- the longest standing awards dedicated to online search -- were announced today at the opening of Jupitermedia's (Nasdaq: JUPM) Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo, running through Thursday March 4th at the Hilton New York in New York City. The members and editors of SearchEngineWatch.com, the source for search engine marketing, made the selections.

"It was another great year for Google, with the company winning in all but one category where it was nominated," said Danny Sullivan, editor of SearchEngineWatch.com.
