US Online Ad Spending to grow 13.9% in 2010

After 2009’s downslide, US online ad spending in 2010 will rise by 13.9%, reaching a record $25.8 billion. But records are made to be broken. In each of the following four years, internet ad spending will hit new peaks, passing $30 billion in 2012 and breaking the $40 billion barrier in 2014.
Another milestone: For the first time, online ad spending will surpass newspaper advertising, which eMarketer estimates at $25.7 billion for 2010. That makes internet advertising second only to TV among measured media.
