Despite The Recession, Internet Business Is Still Growing Quickly

SullyUI · 07-06-2009, 02:08 PM

Although the economy is tanking in the States and elsewhere, the internet advertising business is still growing.

Ad expenditure for internet advertising was already high in 2008, and is expected to go up a huge 10% in 2009. This is just from businesses advertising themselves on Adwords and other sites; but I'm guessing that the overall rate for internet purchasing by regular consumers is up as well.

Online Ad Spending Rises At Double-Digit Rates, Gains Share Vs. All Other Media

It's just cheaper and more effective to use the internet for advertising, and offline businesses are catching on pretty quick as their revenue slows down.

What's more amazing is that advertising in other media types expected to decrease a huge 8.5%, especially newspaper advertising. A lot of people are predicting the internet to almost completely replace newspapers in the next 5 years.

Pay-per-click consulting is in huge demand right now (predicted to grow 20% in 2009), since pay-per-click advertising is the highest online media expenditure at the moment.

Just more proof that online marketing isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Yep, i haven't seen any slow down in ad expenditure rates..and that's coming from someone who's profiting from the adsense side of things

I guess it time for people to start getting busy online in preparation for the biggest global internet evolution.

That's always encouraging to hear!

Well it seems that scammers are using this recession time to scam people as people are more gullible and wants a way to make money! It's good to have internet ad growing, but got to have a sharp look out for scams!

hangtimenino · 07-06-2009, 11:09 PM

it is definitely growing. i think because there's less expenses for internet based businesses.

Even now Internet Business is still in a very early stage. The next few years it will increase exponentially.

Big growth area?

Membership sites.

One area destined to become massive is "web real estate" - i.e. buying and selling website businesses for investment purposes. I am surprised that this is not much bigger even now in fact - the potential is massive.

The reason is because direct response advertising as a whole is growing in television, print & the net... and there is no better vehicle for direct response ads then the internet.

No longer can companies afford to spend their advertising revenue on high-end PR campaigns without knowing if they are working.

If you watch TV, you will notice less ads for automobiles and more ads for direct response items like the "Snuggie".
