But that’s just counting “TV-like advertisements…in a player environment,” so it doesn’t quite describe the online video revenue related to sponsorship, product placement and overlays. All sorts of sponsorship, including videos, brought in $387 million in ‘08, while rich media ads brought in $1.64 billion overall.

The top-line takeaway was $23 billion in total ‘08 revenue, reflecting continued but slowed growth from previous years. You can download the full ad revenue report here.
