The IAB online advertising revenue report, conducted in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers, confirms the growing confidence that advertisers hold in the internet’s ability to deliver on their marketing objectives.
In 2008, the share of total advertising spend claimed by online was approximately 3.5 per cent; data for H1 2009 indicates strong growth in 2009 and currently, the IAB estimates share to be at six per cent. Growth is estimated to be 19.5 per cent CAGR.

For industry categories of advertisers, the top three categories were travel and leisure, technology, and financial services throughout the period.
With regards to pricing models, performance-based pricing showed strong sequential growth through the study period. CPM-based pricing showed a corresponding decline in share whereas tenancy-based pricing remained constant.
