Internet ad spending totaled $7.3 billion for the fourth-quarter of 2007, about 28 percent more than the same period in 2006, according to IDC. For the 2007 calendar year it reached $25.5 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 27 percent. As online ad spending continues to increase, brands and agencies are finding new and valuable ways to reach targeted audiences. One way they have found to accomplish this is by partnering with vertical ad networks such as Glam Media (women) and Federated Media (technology). As vertical ad networks continue to grow in scale and depth, they begin to rival what traditional media has long provided.
