In the long term, the robust nature of the Internet will continue to lead the world economy, but there will be some bumps in the road, as we have seen in virtually every advertising medium as it grows in importance,
" noted Tom Hyland, Chair, PricewaterhouseCoopers New Media Group. "A significant finding of this report is that |
online advertising continued to increase in the midst of a turbulent phase of the medium's growth,and that advertising became more concentrated in the higher profile sites and portals, signaling that the smart money is going where the traffic is. The first half of 2000 has accounted for almost the full year 1999 revenues, and a run rate in the $8 -10 billion range. The historical fourth quarter bump in ad revenue, combined with the 'use it or lose it' budgets, we look for 2000 to be a very good year for the industry."
Conducted by the New Media Group of PricewaterhouseCoopers on an ongoing basis, with results released quarterly, the "Advertising Revenue Report" was started by the IAB in 1996, and represents data from more than 200 companies representing thousands of sites. The results reported are the most accurate measurement of online advertising revenues since the data is compiled directly from information supplied by companies selling advertising on the Internet. All-encompassing in nature, the survey includes data concerning online advertising revenues from Web sites, commercial online services, free e-mail providers, and all other companies selling online advertising.
