“While direct response advertising has been very successful on the Internet, with categories like finance and travel devoting a significant portion of their budget to online advertising, on-line advertising will not continue to grow as rapidly without major brands beginning to devote larger portions of their ad budgets to the Web. We are seeing some of that happen now with Consumer Packaged Goods companies, which are growing their budgets despite a down economy,” said David Wiesenfeld, vice president, online marketing solutions at Nielsen.
