US Internet Video Adspend To Soar

US internet video ad spending will grow by 82.2% this year, and 89.0% in 2007, according to a new report from eMarketer.

The Internet Video report analyses the fast growing online trend, with eMarketer saying that spending is low as testing new methods of video delivery and marketing are more the rule than full-play campaigns at the moment.

EMarketer adds that although internet video ad spending represents only 0.6% of TV ad budgets this year, large spending gains for internet video advertising are just over the horizon.

By 2010, adds the online research company, one in ten dollars devoted to internet advertising will go for video placements.
