I had a question about the WebmasterWorld community about the G numbers. Here is a quote from the Globe and Mail [theglobeandmail.com...]

During a conference call with analysts, Google said sales of its display ads, which include those on YouTube, are on a pace that would translate to $2.5-billion annually. Its mobile advertising businesses are on pace to bring in $1-billion in revenue annually. The figures are the most specific Google has released about the two emerging businesses.

They've been quoting these 2 figures all over the news. But I don't understand what is meant by "display ads". Is this all of AdSense? Or is this some other technology?

As for the mobile ads, I am surprised at the number. Could G be moving away from being a one trick pony (AdWord/AdSense)?
