Internet advertising
continues to take two forms. There is niche advertising for products
and services for specialist sites, with a community with demonstrable
potential interest in the products and services provided by the
advertiser. Secondly transaction related advertising continues to
grow. Greater access combined with penetration of ownership of access
devices has helped. Transaction security has improved exponentially
encouraging and increasing confidence in the integrity of on line
transactions. Increased availability of product and services and the
immediacy of price discovery and transparency have encouraged the
growth of consumer advertising where a spontaneous and immediate
decision is likely.
