Web advertising up 26 pct in 2nd qtr: study
Mon Sep 26, 1:11 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Internet advertising revenue grew 26 percent to $3 billion in the second quarter, driven by paid search listings and more sophisticated video and audio ads known as rich media, according to a study released on Monday.

The data provided by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers bolsters expectations that advertisers are spending more on the Internet as consumers devote more time to the Web and away from other media.
Online ad revenue in the first half of the year also rose 26 percent, to $5.8 billion, from a year earlier.
"The consistent growth in overall revenues shows marketers may be shifting more of their total advertising budgets to online," said David Silverman, partner at PricewaterhousCoopers.
Paid search listings, which allow advertisers to pay to display ads next to relevant search terms, remain the bulk of online advertising at 40 percent, buoying results for Internet companies like Yahoo and Google .
Regular display ads, such as Web page banners, represent 20 percent of online advertising, classified ads grew slightly to 18 percent, while rich media comprises 8 percent.
The IAB represents 200 online companies responsible for selling nearly 90 percent of Internet advertising in the United States.

Now I see HeyPac's message! I gave HP my 2 cents over on RB, but I think HP wants 7.5 cents so he can say good-bye to EZTO! I only want 25 cents!
Looking forward to EZ2BANK! I need an EZ Bank!
Sounds like GOOGLE, but maybe this one's still in "start-up" mode! Even so, it must be worth at least $2/share! GOOGLE is over $300/share so $2 is pale in comparison!
This sounds like a great company! What is it? I want to BUY some shares of this one!!!

EZ2Auction now has link to "bidhopper.com" at the bottom of the home page! Why I ask? Is this more paid advertising for EZTO?
Click link then scroll to bottom!

Thursday is typically EZTO NEWS DAY! Let's see what happens today!
Whoops, off a day. I thought tomorrow was Thursday! Maybe another quiet day before possible NEWS!
LADY, EZTO likes to put out NEWS on Thursdays! Don't hold your breath, but Thursday has better odds than most other days of the week! Let's hope its TODAY or next Thursday!
EZTO REVENUE: please compute from the following info:
Looks like $0.99 for every listed item which gets charged at the end of the auction! So, it looks like we are producing revenue! Maybe that is how we got $1.5K last quarter! Should be at least triple that in the present quarter! Hey, 300% increase quarter over quarter, not bad! Add in a few EZ2ASK AD dollars and a few EZ2STREAM Subscriber dollars and were off to the races!
"EZ2Auction fees are somewhat different from the norm as well as the cutting edge technology. There are no listing fees, and just a 99 cents auction end fee. No percentage of sale is charged. Other small fees are charged for featured items or category highlighted."
Is EZ2ASK on par with DOGPILE? I use EZ2ASK, but I can't get my family members to give up DOGPILE! Any comments, comparisons welcomed!
I think we've got something going here, but I think we need to pull some folks off other METASEARCH Services (e.g., DOGPILE) to increase the popularity of EZ2ASK!
Here's the recent EZTO Radio Interview (9/16/05):
Show: Shutterbug Magazine Radio
#1 Featuring Paul Vizard (CTO)
http://www.wsradio.com/internet-talk-radio.cfm/shows/Shutterbug-Magazine-Radio.html
Does EZ2STREAM work? I think so, but I haven't signed up so I don't know for sure. At least the video samples that we see now and then seem to be coming from EZ2Stream, so it appears to be a bonafide service!
At least I know that I have watched an EZ2STREAM streaming video with Tiger Woods promoting golf balls!
Maybe EZTO can BUY some Tiger promos for EZ2SWING!
I can see it now: EZTO presents "EZ2TIGER"
My point is that at least 2 EZTO Sites work! I have no idea about revenue, but at least the sites work! I would say that a functioning site means they aren't scams, but whether there is revenue is another question! And a big question for the future of this company!
Today many unloaded, but it may signal the bottom. Tomorrow should be telling!
Is EZ2ASK a Scam? Here's the site and I think it works for web seaches!

GREENS, got the email, thanks! Looks like some changes in the works! Not sure what to expect about the "quiet period" from Otto's answer, but maybe it is coming to an end soon!
