AOL's revenue jumped 11.7% to $626.8 million from $561.3 million in the third quarter.

Net income attributable to AOL rose to $28.5 million, or $0.35 per share, for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, from $2 million, or $0.02 per share, a year earlier.

The ad business was really driven by its "third-party" ad sales.
From the release, here's a break down of ad sales:
