This produces more-efficient advertising and higher ROI, which in turn pushes traditional media to compete with lower pricing.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Which puts more pressure on traditional media’s bottom line.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“At the same time, successful Internet advertising creates a new paradigm for marketing on other media,” adds Mr. Hallerman. “Search is the prime example of the new model.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When marketers link ads to an individual’s stated interest at the precise moment that interest is expressed—as happens with a search query—relevance breaks down the usual resistance."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More evidence of the changing impact of Internet marketing is shown in this article.
