Branded Display Ads Close Search Gap in 2011 and Beyond
According to a recent eMarketer forecast, growth in spending on online display ads will outstrip that for paid search through 2014, though search will continue to take the greater share of dollars. In 2010, both search and display will see increases greater than the rise in total US online ad spending, estimated at 13.9%. But between 2011 and 2014, the study projects online display spending will grow faster than overall online spending, while search spending will lag slightly behind.

3 Proven Methods to Ensure Your Online Display Advertising Gets Results
It used to be that online display advertising was cumbersome and the return on investment was meager at best. You had to craft an ad, get it into the hands of the publisher, run it, get results – rinse and repeat. Banner ads in particular simply weren’t able to be tested without incurring huge costs and a lack of segmentation and analytics made it difficult for companies to grasp how well (or how poorly) their ads were performing. In short, online display advertising was viewed as an expensive strategy that simply didn’t deliver the kind of returns that PPC could guarantee.
These days, display advertising is starting to pick up momentum again, and it’s coming back in a big way. With A/B split testing, multivariate (Taguchi) testing and a whole host of tracking options, smart businesses are catching on to the wealth of online display advertising opportunities that have the potential to bring them just as much targeted traffic as PPC had in the past. What’s more, ad networks haven’t been content to sit on the sidelines. They’re now fully engaged as an all-in-one platform where the buyer can upload, swap, test, track and report on performance directly online.

Yahoo loss toughens Bartz’s task
Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz warned analysts that hard times would continue.The quarterly shortfall of $303 million is its first since 2002. New CEO offers few details about recovery plan.
Jessica Guynn reporting from San Francisco — Yahoo Inc. reported a $303-million shortfall Tuesday, its first quarterly loss since 2002, as the struggling Internet company took charges to acknowledge the shrinking value of its business.
Cutbacks by advertisers, especially on Web banners, hurt Yahoo’s revenue, which also dropped for the first time in seven years.
Eight days into her new job, Yahoo Chief Executive Carol Bartz warned analysts during a conference call that tough times would continue. But before the presentation, as required by law, Yahoo’s head of investor relations read the list of risk factors — things that could go wrong for shareholders and depress the stock even further.
“I should have understood all those risks before I took this job,” Bartz quipped.
The moment of levity was short-lived. The continued deterioration of Yahoo’s business in the fourth quarter, the last under former CEO Jerry Yang’s watch, made Bartz’s assignment even tougher.
The Sunnyvale, Calif., company reported a net loss of $303 million, or 22 cents a share, compared with a profit of $206 million, or 15 cents, a year earlier. Revenue fell 1% to $1.81 billion.
Still, investors had braced for worse. Yahoo’s stock rose more than 5% to $11.95 in after-hours trading, after closing up 1.5% to $11.34 in regular trading before the earnings report.
