Projections for local search advertising growth

According to the Kelsey Group, http://www.kelseygroup.com/ , local search, will grow from US$33 USD billion in 2007 to US$41 USD billion globally in 2012.

Interactive segments will drive much of the industry's growth.

Print will be an important source of leads for small businesses, but a multiplatform business model is emerging and the historically print based industry is now immersed in the new media revolution.

At USA-Local-Search.com we monetise the site using Google's AdSense. Our revenue grows in a direct proportion to the amount of users to the site. As the user population grows, so does our revenue. This is a sustainable and obvious approach in the web 2.0 environment.
