comScore also measures advertising reach; that is, the percentage of the U.S. population that is served an ad by a given advertising platform. Google again leads with a reach of 31.7% of the U.S. population. Of the other nine ad platforms, AOL, now owned by Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ), reaches 25.9% of the U.S. population.
Google is responding to demand for new advertising products by developing new products that will have the ability to show promoted video ads in search results. Video ads dominate in the mobile space, and on Facebook and Google’s YouTube. An analyst for Forrester told WARC that if promoted video ads in search worked, “it would be a gusher of money for Google.”
