The latest report issued by VeriSign
Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN) shows strong new
domain registration growth throughout
2004 continued in the fourth quarter
with 6.4 million new domain names registered.
This growth is driven by key factors
including an increasing population of
Internet users globally, an improving
global economy and the continued importance
of domain name registrations for use
in the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising
market and the impact of increasing
number of domain name auctions where
users are able to bid for domain currently
registered or that have not been renewed
in the Internet industry.
According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers
study conducted for the Interactive
Advertising Bureau, U.S. revenues for
the first six months were $4.6 billion
(3.79 billion), compared with $3.3 billion
for the same period in 2003. The Internet
advertising revenues jumped 40 percent
in the first half of this year is driven
largely by the growing popularity of
keyword ads tied to search results.
