I still believe that this industry still have a bright future in the long run. I agree it is temporary declined.

I think this is probably just a natural progression . Beyond the obvious economic issues that are affecting ALL marketing budgets, a lot of industries are beginning to understand that there are other ways to reach their audience.

We’ve noticed an increase in organic SEO interest much greater than we’ve seen previously. I’m certain many companies are hiring in-house staff to perform some of these services also.

Still, it’s an interesting read and worthy of keeping an eye on.

I think Q4 numbers will tell more of the story.

@ Hull Web Design – I would have to agree. Given the present economy, slowing growth is to be expected. Negative growth would be cause for concern. I think it is natural for the growth to slow as time goes on anyway. I’m not really sure this is a major cause for concern.

So it’s not actually declining, just the rate at which it’s growing is declining.

I wouldn’t really say the “online ad industry is not looking good”.

I think it’s just that there are less and less people to join the trend thats all.

Once people stop using online ads, thats when we can say it’s not looking good.
