Study: Facebook Led US in Display Ad Impressions in Q1

Facebook

Marketers in the U.S. increased their expenditure on online display ads in the first neighborhood, as social networking leader Facebook served the best explanation of this type of ad, according to comScore.

Display ad impersonation increased 15 percent in the first quarter year-on-year to 1.1 trillion, and the cost of this ad format for a total of USD 2.7 billion, or $ 2.48 per thousand imitations.

Facebook nabbed a 16.2 percent share of impersonation, edging former head of Yahoo, which grab 12.1 percent of the total. This represent quite a change from the 2009 first neighborhood, Yahoo had 13 percent and Facebook ranked third with 7.5 percent.

Yahoo has conventionally been the market person in charge in publicity, an ad format that includes stationary banners and rich media ads, and that generates a momentous portion of their takings.

Yahoo did not right away respond to a request for an observation about comScore results, even if it is safe to assume that Yahoo executive cannot be excited to see Facebook serving up so many more display ads that are central to Yahoo's financial happiness.

Microsoft completed third in this year's first quarter, by 5.5 percent, up from 4.6 percent in last year's first quarter. Fox Interactive Media, which includes MySpace, saw its share fall from 11.6 percent in the 2009 first quarter to 4.9 percent. AOL ended in fifth place, and it shares also fell, from 6.3 percent to 2.9 percent. Neither MySpace or AOL immediately responded to requirements for observation.

Ranking sixth with 2.4 percent was Google, which has tried angrily years to strengthen its display ad commerce and diversify its revenue, which depends mainly on pay-per-click text look for ads.
