U.S. Internet advertising surged 38 percent to a record $3.9 billion in the first quarter as marketers moved additional dollars to the Web, according to data released on Tuesday. The Interactive Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers surveyed leading companies that sell advertising space online, including Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) and Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG - news) , which are benefiting as consumers spend more of their media and purchasing time on the Internet.
good news for us publishers. I wonder why googles stock just dropped another 3 points today. O well, the more dollars companies pump into online advertising.. the more money we will get.
That is a good news. Hope things get better soon with Yahoo having more advertisers...then we can get paided better...
Yep...and it's only going to get better. More and more traditional newspapers are failing because more and more folks are turning to the 'Net for their news and information. Great news for publishers who provide quality content. As always, IMO. AmCy
