2005 Search Advertising Revenues

Information week reports that North American advertisers spent 44 percent more on search engine marketing last year, with Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. taking a large share of the market, an industry trade group said.

Optimization of Web sites for better search rankings accounted for 11 percent of spending, paid inclusion 4 percent, and the remainder on agency solutions, in-house development and other tactics.

Instead of launching a satellite designed for a single, fixed purpose (like broadcasting specific frequencies to a specific region), SDS allows operators to modify, upgrade, and reconfigure a satellite's functions after it's in orbit, primarily through software updates. The ABI Research report highlights ...
