Customers do53% of time spent on the Internet is directly attributable to content consumption. AOL Nielsen May 2011
Social media has been capturing the lion’s share of media attention in the internet marketing world and it’s often warranted. Social networks have facilitated major changes from revolutionizing online gaming to revolutions in countries. According to Forrester’s most recent Interactive Marketing Forecasts (2011 – 2016) for the U.S., interactive spend is to reach $76.6 billion by 2016. While social media spending will increase in that time, 43% of the overall interactive forecast by 2016 will be search marketing. Only 6% or so will be social media. That said, the combination of social and search may be even more powerful and as marketers realize the benefit of integration, many will see significant returns.
