Internet ad spending tops $351 million in Q1 Reuters Story - June 18, 1998 19:30 %ELI %ENT %US %ADV %NEWS %DPR %TEL %FIN %BNK %PUB INTC V%REUTER P%RTR SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (Reuters) - First-quarter Internet ad spending rose to $351.3 million, setting a pace that would easily give the fledgling industry its first $1 billion calendar year, the Internet Advertising Bureau reports. Figures were based on data from more than 200 online publishers selling advertising, including Web sites, commercial online services and e-mail providers, which were compiled for IAB by the New Media Group of Coopers & Lybrand. "The results for the first quarter of this year underscore the fact that the Internet is now considered an integral component of the overall media mix ...," IAB Chairman Rich LeFurgy said in a statement Wednesday. Computers led all advertising categories with 27 percent, followed closely by consumer-related products at 25 percent, the IAB said. Other leading categories were telecommunications, 14 percent; financial services, 13 percent; and new media, 10 percent. First-quarter spending was about 5 percent higher than the fourth quarter of 1997 and 272 percent higher than the first quarter last year. According to IAB, total online ad spending last year was $907 million. The Internet Advertising Bureau, which was holding its annual meeting here, also announced that it would merge with the Internet Local Advertising & Commerce Association effective July 1. ILAC was founded last year to promote and advance local advertising and commerce between buyers and sellers on the Internet. IAB, founded in 1996, has primarily online publishers as members.
