Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) to dominate the arena of Display ads this year, Facebook Inc(NASDAQ:FB) Lags

According to eMarketer, one of the most important institutions for revenue forecasts, Google Inc(NASDAQ:GOOG) will topple Facebook Inc(NASDAQ:FB) from the top position of display ads this year. According to the research firm, Google is all set out to branch out and increase its revenue from advertisements, and by dominating the arena of display ads, it will lead as the organization with three kinds of advertising. Namely, Search, mobile, and display.

Before Facebook, Yahoo was the dominant company with the most amount of revenue collection through display advertisements. However, Google has made substantial investments in the sector of Display ads and has shifted its focus from the search ads, which had been its most prominent source of income up until now. Apart from launching the DoubleClick Ad Exchange, which is responsible for selling advertisements all over the web, the company has also taken over a number of other companies to develop its resources for display ads. The fact that Google has maintained long-running relationships with advertisers will also work to the company’s benefit.
