Advertisers continue to pump dollars into online advertising campaigns, including search, display, classifieds and email. The Interactive Advertising Bureau reported today that ad revenues soared to $14.9 billion during the first half of the year, a record total and up 23 percent over the same period last year.

Randall Rothenberg, president and CEO of the IAB, said in the report:

This welcome news, in light of the weakness in a large part of the rest of the U.S. economy, confirms that the innovations happening in interactive marketing deliver great value to the industry and to the consumer.”
