Los Angeles (PRWEB) February 8, 2009 -- In tough economic times, with increasing competition and tightening marketing budgets, marketers are forced to make decisions based on how to most effectively maximize their advertising dollars.

A key finding according to IDC's Digital Marketplace Model and Forecast, Search ads will dominate internet advertising, capturing more than one-third of annual online ad spending worldwide. "One of the biggest reasons for the increase in Search ad spend is that Search allows marketers to gain a greater amount of exposure and reach larger targeted audiences--while spending less and driving their cost per acquisition (CPA) down," said Mary O'Brien, PPC Summit CEO. "Proven over time, Search Engine Marketing and Pay Per Click (http://www.ppcsummit.com) advertising have been highly efficient and effective advertising vehicles, and continues to grow despite the economic climate because consumers turn to Search to fulfill their shopping needs and make sure they are getting the best deals."
