About this title: Will Advertising Thrive on the Net? Morgan Stanley Explores the Potential of the Online Arena

The explosive growth of the Internet has fueled speculation about its potential as an advertising medium. But online advertising is still in its infancy; hard data have been scarce, and informed analysis of the field or its future prospects is even harder to find. The investment bank Morgan Stanley has brought its vast research and analytical resources to bear on this question in The Internet Advertising Report (HarperBusiness; June 18, 1997), a revised and updated version originally written for Morgan Stanley clients, by Mary Meeker.

Forecasting continued growth for the Internet, Meeker anticipates real, long-term potential for online advertising, although in the short term, social and technological factors will make the Web a volatile advertising environment. She suggests that in time, however, the Internet may prove to be the next mass medium. To take full advantage of the Web's potential, she notes, advertisers will have to expand their focus beyond simple message delivery to include building customer relationships, providing services and interactive marketing, and even generating direct, online sales.

Meeker and Morgan Stanley offer a thorough review of today's current Web advertising by answering the following questions:

Who are the biggest advertisers?
What sites generate the greatest ad revenue?
How do the best Web sites attract users and advertisers?
How much is spent on Web advertising?
How fast will spending grow?
What advertising works and what doesn't?

One impact of Internet technology, Meeker notes, will be an unprecedented ability to track exposure and response to individual ads. Finally, she offers some forecasts of Internet and advertising growth and shows how the emergence of the Internet compares with the introduction of other new media, especially cable television.

From a roundup of some of the best Net ads today to profiles of emerging Web companies; from a hard look at the money actually being spent to cautious projections of future growth, The Internet Advertising Report is the most thorough and intelligent resource available on one of the hottest topics on the Net.
