In my first column, I wrote that the online ad market was a struggle, but that certain elements, namely Search and Rich Media, were going to preserve its sustainable growth.

If you've planned media on an integrated basis, you know the basics behind reach curves. The more you spend incrementally, the less reach you achieve.
