Paid search and paid inclusion together are forecast to reach $5.5 billion - or 45 percent of the total online ad market in 2005. Much of the growth will be driven by broadband adoption, which will drive an increase in queries, according to Merrill Lynch, who predicts a 20 percent increase in query volume for the year. It said the volume of queries per user grew between 16 and 18 percent in the first quarter, compared with 0-4 percent a year ago. Overall, Merrill Lynch continues to predict that online advertising will reach $12.4 billion this year, and $25 billion by 2009.

"Top 200 advertisers have transitioned from testing online advertising to making it a permanent component of their marketing mix," stated the report.

Earlier this month, Forrester Research predicted that online advertising would reach $14.7 billion this year,about 23 percent more than Forrester's estimate for 2004 estimates.
