Hello PeterStone1,


The search-engine based advertising market is worth between $2 billion
and $2.6 billion.

Please refer to the relevant excerpts below.


 ?According to Jupiter Research, search-engine based advertising is a
$2 billion market that accounts for about a quarter of the total
online advertising market.

Analysts predict that it has the potential to grow to about $6 billion
over the next few years, led by the three major search providers
Google, Yahoo and MSN.?

?Six-year-old Google, founded by two Sanford University graduate
students, has become the major player in the $2 billion search-engine
advertising market and has created one of the most recognized brands
largely through grass-roots, word-of-mouth advertising.?
