I'd like a current estimate from a foot-notable source for the
internet market, preferably measured in revenues.  I would like to
sub-totals for the internet advertising market, the e-commerce market
and internet subscriptions.  These don't all need to be from the same
source, and simply need to provide a sense for the size and breakdown
of revenue sources on the net.

Hi Joe Lombardo!


Below you will find the results of my research regarding the revenues
for the internet advertising, e-commerce and subscriptions market.

Advertising

Online ad revenues reached $7.3 billion in 2003.

Excerpt:

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), in conjunction with
PricewaterhouseCoopers, reports that online ad revenues reached $7.3
billion in 2003, up from $6 billion in 2002. The high water mark for
online ad revenue came in 2000 at just more than $8 billion.

strong fourth quarter and spending on keyword search terms and rich
media, according to a recent report.?

States for Q4 2003 totaled an estimated $2.2 billion, with revenues
