Reminder: Online Advertising Might Not Grow Forever
from the how-about-that? dept
It seems in our "short term" view of things, it's easy to forget the lessons learned in the past. With the growth of Yahoo and Google's online advertising programs, it seems that just about every online business is entirely based on the idea that online advertising will pay for everything. It's as if people are believing that online advertising will continue to grow at the same pace forever. While there's still plenty of room for growth, some are now predicting it will slow down. As with many such stats, these don't seemed to based on very much useful, but it should be useful as a reminder that the online advertising market isn't guaranteed, and when the economy stumbles, online advertising may slow down again.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
