This morning, MediaPost's Online Media Daily is reporting that Google's "active advertiser count" is 54.9 percent higher than it was in the fourth quarter of 2007. The OMD article [mediapost.com] has some other interesting numbers and predictions, including the suggestion that "the fourth quarter of this year may be the strongest quarter on record for both Google and Microsoft."
