$$$$

Internet advertising has ended high in 2009. Ad revenue had made $22.7 billion which is down 3.4% from 2008. However the fourth quarter of 2009 made a comeback with advertisers spending $6.3 billion which was a 2.6% increase from 2008. This figure set a record for the most revenue made in a quarterly.

From this article I learned that 47% of ad revenue was from search services. Online advertising can be found on search, display related including banner ads, rich media, digital video, and sponsorship, advertisers also advertise on classified, referrals, and e-mail.

I never realized how much money goes into online advertising. I found it interesting how in 2009 it was lower but is now going up which is looking good for 2010.
