"This study indicates in no uncertain terms that the age of desk-top dominance in the paid-search advertising is coming to an end," said Jon Myers, Commercial Director, EMEA at Marin Software. "There has been a significant uptake of smartphone and tablets in the UK, and this country now leads Europe in terms of consumer engagement with mobile advertising as we all increasingly shop online on mobile devices."
Myers continued: "While the rise of tablets is no secret, what's interesting is based on our report, tablet users engage with search ads more than ads on desk-tops. A high user involvement combined with favorable performance characteristics make search ads on tablets hard to resist for advertisers."
