Where's the search industry today?



Sara: We're seeing budgets shrinking, but money is moving online. There's positive movement, but we're still feeling the pain.

Julie: There's a lot of interest in digital and search. The budgets are tighter but digital is still able to maintain a foothold.

Greg: The amount of time it takes to negotiate and close a deal is dramatically longer. Price has dropped as far as it can but getting to the "ink" is much longer. We're starting to see a bounce back.

Jack: Through the recession we've seen consistent growth and people are searching more than they were a year ago.

Andrew: Google's found ways to grow that other companies never would have, but if you look at the competition for placement among some sectors, those won't bounce back the same way.

Susan: We're in a state of flux. We're teetering between what used to be the traditional search straight line and we've been moving for the past couple years to the blended search look.

Bruce: When people go to Google and search on something, they already know what they're looking for. In the future, social media is going to stimulate you to search for certain things.
