eMarketer releases estimated ad revenue and market share for Google and Yahoo!
NEW YORK, NY (October 17, 2006)―As Yahoo! and Google report their third-quarter earnings this week, eMarketer's new estimates of US full-year advertising revenue, growth and market share for the two companies can help put their earnings in perspective.
Google's US ad revenue growth rate in 2006 will soar almost 65% over last year's. Yahoo! still shows a respectable 17.5% growth rate, an increase that would satisfy most companies. But not one competing against Google. Just a year ago, Google and Yahoo! both posted US ad revenues of more than $2.4 billion. For the full year 2006, though, Google at $4 billion in ad revenue will eclipse Yahoo!'s ad revenue of $2.9 billion. 」 http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?1004217
