“Facebook is set to overtake Yahoo this year to seize the biggest share of the U.S. online display advertising market, a study found.
Facebook will reap $2.19 billion in display ads sales this year, for a 17.7 percent share of the U.S. market, topping Yahoo’s 13.1 percent, according to a report today from Internet research firm EMarketer Inc.
Facebook, with more than half a billion users, has lured advertisers such as Coca-Cola Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Adidas AG. The social network’s display ad revenue more than doubled in each of the past two years, and will surge 81 percent in 2011, EMarketer estimated.”
