This report provides us with a more detailed look at the growth drivers of our
industry, e.g. automated trading which is clearly getting up to speed.
Businesses who provide their data make this report possible. This report is a
benchmarking tool for the participants that will allow them to compare themselves

We hope you enjoy reading this report. We welcome feedback for further

first edition received great feedback and that the current edition – which covers 2011
H1 – had even more respondents taking part.

“While consumers are ready for mobile
advertising, major advertisers are yet to
get their game together.”
“The trend of online audiovisual
communication combined with TV
will grow even further into audiovisual
planning instead of standalone TV or
online planning. The type of screen
does not matter anymore - it is the
message that counts.”

Online advertising market
• The report includes included data from 32 companies including the largest
publishers in The Netherlands e.g. TMG, Sanoma Media, Wegener Media and
Microsoft.
• Together, these companies represent nearly 334 websites and comprise over
77% of total reach (based on STIR). Corrections for other sites not reported by

independently verified.
• Wherever needed we have used tools such as statistical instead of regression
analysis to make estimations regarding issues like total advertising spend.
• Based on the information provided by survey participants, figures have been
adjusted for double counting.
Search and classifieds estimates
• Due to limited availability of company data we estimated the market size for
search and classifieds based on market data.
• Together with the taskforce search from the IAB we defined the search market
and estimated the market size.
• Attempts were made to verify data with market leader Google but due to
company regulations they could not comment on our findings.
• The classified market is based on publicly available market estimates. Due to
limited data input current classified market size could not be verified.
Methodology

21.
IAB report on online ad-spend H1 2011 21
Online advertising market
• Display advertising revenue: Generated by advertising on publishers’ sites,
where size and location on the site are agreed upon. For example banners,
skyscrapers, medium rectangles, leaderboards and rich media.
• Online classifieds & directories: Revenue generated by publishing a classified
add on a website.
• Branded content (content integration): A fusion of content and advertising
which may or may not include ad elements such as display advertising, brand
logos, advertorial or pre-roll video.
• E-mail marketing: Revenue generated by publishing the ad within the content
of e-mail newsletters. Both display adds and sponsored content.
• Online video advertising: Revenue generated by advertising in, on or around
online video. Standard formats are pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll. The ad can be
published during, before or after the online video.
• In-game advertising: Revenue generated by advertising, where the ad is
published within a computer game (bought by a retailer), or within an online
video game (via a console, pc, mobile, laptop with internet connection).

tablets. For example apps and mobile websites.
Search and classifieds estimates
• CPM: Cost per Mille = Payment model where the advertiser pays per thousand
impressions.

generated. A lead is an online conversion where the consumer shares its contact
details and indicates a specific interest.
