    Perhaps someone ought to dig updata on how many of these advertisers are mainstream versus pure online businesses.

    I often see ads from DELL, HP, Auto Makers. No idea how much of the online ad business is coming from these guys. I don’t see much in the Entertainment vertical.

    Google’s self-serve AdSense has been gaining traction with online businesses and again is missing mainstream advertisers.

    Most of the online ads seen are from the travel, matrimony, jobs trio. Recently, I have noticed universities like Symbiosis and Pearl advertise.

    Online advertising still has some catching up to do in India with only 190 companies trying to advertise on Rediff.
