Internet advertising is expanding and evolving at such a quick pace that constant analysis of the techniques and styles is vital to stay one step ahead of the game!

A report by Econsultancy gives some more statistics concerning this inordinate growth in Internet advertising:

- 57% of advertisers say that spending on online display advertising has gone up in the last year.

- On average, advertisers say that just over a fifth (22%) of online display advertising is purely about branding.

- There is a trend towards increased use of online advertising networks.

- Almost half of advertisers (46%) say they are working with more networks than a year ago

- Advertisers regard the audience (55%) as the most important criterion for judging an online ad network

Hope these may be of some use to anyone!
