NEW YORK (AP) -- For the first time, U.S. Internet
advertising revenue has surpassed that of broadcast television thanks to sharp
growth in mobile and digital video ads.
That's according to a report from the Interactive
Advertising Bureau, which said Thursday that Internet advertising revenue rose
17 percent to a record $42.8 billion in 2013. Broadcast TV ad revenue, in
comparison, was $40.1 billion in 2013.
Mobile advertising revenue more than doubled to $7.1
billion from $3.4 billion in 2012 as companies like Facebook, Google and
Twitter boosted their mobile presence.
IAB is made up of more than 600 media and technology
companies that sell most of the online advertising in the U.S. The report is
based on a survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
