With LinkedIn, Pandora, Zynga and others entering the market, the first half of 2011 saw some of the biggest Internet IPOs in years. While all of the recent focus is on social games developer Zynga, the most recent IPO, LinkedIn's initial public offering earlier this year was the biggest Internet IPO since Google's debut back in 2004. Shares of LinkedIn were priced at more than $40, but quickly reached close to $120 by the middle of the company's first day of trading.

After its recent IPO, Zynga, the makers of FarmVille, CityVille and other social games, is valued at somewhere between $10 billion and $20 billion. Because Zynga has built its audience largely through Facebook, all eyes are on the social network, which is expected to file for an IPO with the SEC before early next year.
