Paid Search Through 2009

Rising Cost Per Click Drives Market, Forces Advertiser Efficiency

by Nate Elliott

with Gary Stein, Zia Daniell Wigder

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Paid search will continue to grow faster than any other sector of online advertising, increasing from $2.6 billion in 2004 to $5.5 billion in 2009. A sharp increase in the average cost-per-click is the primary driver of this market, with incremental growth in the number of searches also driving spending. With a majority of search marketers using unsophisticated bid strategies, improved measurement and increased efficiency will be necessary to maintain an effective return on investment.
