I then explained to them how this class is dual labeled as both MARK 330 and ENTR 330, and that this content is extremely relevant for marketers, especially in todays era of digital marketing. As we have continued talking about the power of search and the dominance of the four main search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo), I wanted to further explore the implications for marketers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search advertising, and paid search are not types of organic SEO, but I still think that they are relevant topics to explore for the sake of this blog post. This graph from <em>Statista<\/em> shows the Search advertising spending in the United States 2019 to 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/seoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/statistic_id190275_search-ad-spend-in-the-us-2019-2025-pdf-1024x761.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3299\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even just at the first glance you can tell that search advertising is increasing, going from $54.8B in 2019, to over doubling at $123.6B in 2024. These numbers illustrate that more and more people are spending on advertising, which suggests that search advertising is a profitable endeavor. This hypothesis is backed by the chart below that shows revenue from search advertising and projected growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/seoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/seoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-2.png 837w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/seoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-2-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/seoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-2-768x389.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these seems to correspond with the overall increase in search usage, especially with COVID-19 and the increase in e-commerce. There was search advertising revenue growth of 38.33% in 2021, a significant increase compared to growth rates of 18.7% in 2020 and 10.2% in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other statistics from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/study\/136186\/online-search-market-in-the-united-states\/\">this study<\/a> that I thought were interesting were that in 2023, Google blocked 5.5 billon ads from being shown. Additionally, the average cost-per-click in 2023 was $1.99. Finally, I also thought that it was interesting that the amount spent towards search advertising was different between mobile and desktop. In 2023, $70.8B was spent on mibile, and $47.3B was spent on desktop. While it does make sense to me that mobile would have more ads, I didn&#8217;t expect there to be such a large difference between the two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did any of these marketing related numbers surprise you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over break I was explaining this class to my parents, and they replied that it sounded like this class should be for computer science majors, since we are learning how to optimize websites.
