New online spending stats from a Deutsche Bank survey of 60 media executives
found that last quarter (Oct-Dec. 2005), 65 percent said paid search spending
increased compared to the third quarter. Google got 57 percent of spending, with

estimated at 58 cents, though the report added a caveat that it was difficult to
guage this price accurately for various reasons. More details from
