Can Twitter?s Self-Serve Ad Product Meet Rosy Expectations To Drive Revenues To $400M By 2013?

twitterAs Twitter CEO Dick Costolo told the media a few weeks ago, advertising is a key strategy for the company. ?Our advertising method is the only one we need to be a big business,? he said at the time. And Twitter has rolled out a number of new products including Promoted Tweets. But according to a new eMarketer report, Twitter's ad revenue is expected to be lower this year, and will grow significantly over the next few years once the platform's self-serve ad product rolls out. eMarketer estimates global ad revenues at Twitter will grow 210% to $139.5 million in 2011, up from just $45 million in 2010, in the company?s first full year of selling advertising. For background, eMarketer forms its estimates for advertising spending on Twitter through an analysis of estimates of consumer usage, marketer usage, ad pricing, and impressions on Twitter, as well as revenue estimates from research firms and other sources.
