The Interactive Advertising Bureau<\/a> (IAB) has today released its estimation about the total online advertising market<\/a> for the entire 2007, which was said has been over $21B with nearly $6B in Q4 2007.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both IAB and PwC say that this is yet another record year measured year-over-year \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a 25% increase over the previous revenue record of nearly $16.9 billion for full year 2006.<\/p>\n

Other research companies like the Kelsey Group and IDC put U.S. Internet advertising for 2007 at $22.5B and $25.5B <\/a>respectively. The Kelsey Group<\/a> also provides a global estimate of $45 billion for Internet advertising, which is 7.4 percent of the total $600 billion global advertising market<\/a>. This perhaps can explain why 2007 was full with deals<\/a> for any type and size of online ad networks<\/a>, companies and exchanges. We do expect the trend to be preserved for the next 2 years. The internet advertising market in its various types and media is growing more than ever before and is creating huge opportunities for all new entrants as well as for the serious players like Google<\/a>, which is the dominant force on the market of online advertising with over $10B in annual revenues from contextual ads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Interactive media continue their unabated growth,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Randall Rothenberg<\/strong>, President and CEO of the IAB. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is no media as measurable as interactive, and they provide products and services at the precise moment a consumer desires them. I applaud the industry on maintaining this extraordinary momentum of innovation, which has fundamentally changed the way we live today.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The record $21.1 billion year of interactive advertising<\/a> is the culmination of consecutive record quarters throughout 2007,\u00e2\u20ac\u009dsaid David Silverman<\/strong>, partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers<\/a>. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The continued record growth evidences the importance and uniqueness of interactive media to both consumers and the marketers that are trying to reach them.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The IAB sponsors the Internet Advertising Revenue Report, which is conducted independently by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The full report is issued twice yearly for full and half-year data, and top-line quarterly estimates are issued for the first, third and fourth quarters. Fourth quarter and full-year online ad revenue<\/a> estimates result from surveying and aggregating data from the top 15 online ad sellers, and then extrapolating those to calculate the total estimated industry revenue figure.<\/p>\n

Some people have commented online that they think\u00c2\u00a0this is causing Google\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stock to drop today with almost 6%. Their current market cap is roughly $144B which is more than 6x the total market for their entire industry per year. That’s also half of what Microsoft has offered<\/a> for Yahoo! alone.<\/p>\n
