The Publisher Dilemma
September, 2008
“The gap is widening between spending on simple search ads and display ads. Search-ad spending is on track to reach $10.4
billion this year, double what will be spent on display ads, according to research firm eMarketer. That divergence of fortunes may be bad news for companies counting on a
comeback for display ads, which ruled the Web in its early days.”
