That's because Google's markedly better than Yahoo and other rivals at squeezing more revenue for itself from the advertising it serves up, eMarketer senior analyst David Hallerman said during a Monday interview. Also, Google's reputation as the online ad leader makes it more of a first choice for businesses trying out online advertising for the first time.
"These growth numbers establish Google as the unrivaled king of online advertising universe, leaving Yahoo, with its greater advertising diversity and years of media experience, struggling in second place," Hallerman said.
The eMarketer report also shows what a difference a year can make. In 2005, Yahoo and Google had virtually the same amount of U.S. ad revenues. Yet by the end of 2006, Google is expected to pocket almost twice the amount of U.S. ad revenues as Yahoo, according to the new eMarketer report.
This year, according to eMarketer, Yahoo will garner about $2.86 billion in U.S. ad revenues, or an 18% share. It's not a bad year, Hallerman notes, yet Yahoo's share of the U.S. online ad pie will drop this year, albeit fractionally.
In 2005, Yahoo shared 19.4% of the dollars, or $2.43 billion in 2005, according to eMarketer

Universal sues video-sharing websites
By Joshua Chaffin in New York
Published: October 17 2006 20:27 | Last updated: October 17 2006 20:27
Universal Music has launched the established media industry’s first legal action against rapidly growing user-generated websites by filing copyright suits against start-ups Grouper.com and Bolt.com.
In separate lawsuits, Universal alleged that Grouper and Bolt had built up traffic by encouraging users to share music videos from its artists without their permission.
In one incident, it claimed a video for the Mariah Carey song “Shake it Off” was viewed more than 50,000 times on Grouper without the company’s permission.
Universal is demanding that they halt those actions and pay millions of dollars in compensation. Universal also reserved the right to add Sony Pictures Entertainment to the suit. Sony acquired Grouper in August for an estimated $65m.
Sony and Bolt executives had not seen the suit on Tuesday and could not immediately comment on its claims.
User-generated sites have exploded in popularity in recent months by allowing users to share video clips online. Last week, Google confirmed the sector’s appeal when it agreed to buy YouTube, the most popular user-generated site, for $1.65bn.
However, such sites have created a dilemma for established media companies.
While they offer companies the promise of promoting their content to a vast new audience on the web, they also pose the risk of massive copyright violations. Universal publicly threatened to sue YouTube before changing tack and signing a partnership with the company last week to distribute its music videos.
Universal was persuaded after YouTube agreed to pay a small licensing fee for the material and to share associated advertising revenues.
Aaron Cohen, Bolt’s chief executive, disputed the notion that Bolt’s function was to share professionally-made videos, saying content was created by users.
