As per the quarterly study conducted by the Interactive Advertising Bureau with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the bulk of the spending is going over text-based ads that are sold by Google Inc. and other companies.

These ads are targeted to search terms and other keywords.  Advertisers are preferring to lean towards the websites and mobile apps, which will enable them to  plan their pitches more accurately, as  users are now more anorexigenic towards traditional platforms such as Print Media and Radio.
