Online Viewing Growth ≠
Online Video Ad Spend
More U.S. viewers watch web video than watch recorded TV on
DVRs (and often skip the ads), according to Nielsen Online.
Still, the economic potential of web video remains mostly
unrealized.
A major stumbling block for web video is the inability of the
biggest TV advertisers to make a direct comparison between the
effectiveness of TV and the effectiveness of an equivalent buy
online
