Paid search advertising has grown at a blistering pace over the past few years, but that may be slowing according to a News.com article. Growth at Yahoo's Overture has slowed down from 45% in Quarter 1 to 39% in Quarter 2. Still 39% growth is nothing to sneeze at. However, another sign the paid search could be slowing was Google's recent decision to allow banner ads in its Adsense text ad network.
