Trust In Search Ads Rises, Along With All Other Ads Except Newspaper [Nielsen]

A new Nielsen study on consumer trust in advertising shows trust in search ads has risen since 2007.

Nearly half (48 percent) of consumer respondents now say they trust search ads, that’s up 14 percent since 2007.

This is certainly good news for search advertisers. In more good news, with the exception of ads in newspapers, which saw a slight slip, consumers displayed an increased level of trust across all ad formats.

Search along with other online ads still lag behind traditional ad mediums — including newspaper ads — in consumer trust, however.
