Local Online Advertising is Future Goal at USLINX

Local online advertising, long looked on as a potential resource for Internet shoppers, has yet to deliver on that promise. Online local ad spending growth is huge's8212;but the growth emerges from such a small base that local ads makes up only 8% of online spend this year. Even when local online ad spending jumps by nearly 51% next year to $2 billion, it still will not quite be 10% of the 2007 ad spending estimate of $20.3 billion.



Local Online Advertising has grown from $500,000,000 in 2004 to an estimated $1,340,000,000 in 2006.



USLINX.com estimates that it will top $5 Billion by 2010. (based on stats from the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).



In local ad spending when the online and offline figures are compared, shows a big difference in share projections for 2008 when local ads will make up nearly 35% of total media, and online local ads at about 12% of Internet ad spending.



What'ss next for USLINX.com Advertising, for one.

Too few brick and mortar merchants understand the Internet sufficiently enough to dive into online advertising, but more and more are taking the plunge.



But it takes two to tango, and that means that the local merchants and local users have to converge to make this the power house that it can be. Broadband is showing up in more and more homes and businesses, and as it spreads the local marketers had best be in a position to take advantage of the trend, or the big guys will steamroll them into submission once again.



Right now paid search is the force driving local advertising, contributing an estimated 55% of the total of local advertising expenditures.



USLINX.com is introducing a new 's8220;People Power Collaboration Project's8221; known as the PPC Project around their offices, and using a combination of social networking on a local level and blogging and wikis to formulate a plan to take advantage of this trend as it develops.



The Company, also clearly has ambitions in the social network realm; it recently added networking features that includes not only group sites that have chat capabilities, but blogging and a wiki as well. At the moment, the site and is seeing a huge trajectory of users and attention, and is receiving a large amount of traffic without much effort.
