Australians Increasing Online Ad Spend

By: Andy Beal

According to eMarketer, new studies suggest that major Australian advertisers plan to allocate as much as 22% of their total marketing budgets to online advertising.

Strangely, eMarketer doesnt actually show any charts to confirm this - so well have to take their word for it - but they do demonstrate that search marketing is making a comeback, after dropping from its highest share in 2004.

Heres a puzzling snippet for you

"Like their US counterparts, a number of marketers think that online ads provide insufficient accountability."
Exsqueeze me? A baking powder? (def) Can you get more accountable that internet advertising? That just doesnt make sense and perhaps I (or eMarketer) have misunderstand the sentiment behind that statement.

Anyway, having recently returned from Sydney, I can tell you that the Australian SEM industry is getting ready to explode. There are a few smart SEMs down there, that can watch their American SEM cousins for the latest practices and bury their competition.
