No medium before the internet has been able to provide advertisers with such detailed information on how many people see an ad. This precision has powered phenomenal growth across internet advertising from banner and display ads to targeted advertisements. According to eMarketer, $21.4 billion American dollars were spent on online advertising in 2007, projected to grow to $42 billion by 2011. The projected increase is due in large part to the fact that we, as consumers, are using the internet for everything; shopping, entertainment, news, weather, product and service research, personal correspondence, banking, etc. The internet has opened up a new way of doing business. One that is convenient for the consumer, and cost effective for the advertiser. Further, recent studies show that 73% of Americans say they use the Internet (source:Pew Internet & American Life Project report), and Neilson NetRatings statistics indicate that portals and community websites are the most popular types of sites among American Internet users (source: www.workz.com Local Portals Mean Big Business).

True, there are still some who do not. However, there is a much larger percentage that do, and that number is on the rise. 73% of Americans say they use the Internet, up from 66% in January of 2005 (source: Pew Internet & American Life Project report). In contrast, newspaper subscriptions continue to decline at a rapid pace.
