I will honestly say that sales have definitely been hurting as of the past 8 months.
To those who say "things are only getting better" must have started from meager beginnings in the first place, where as you only had room to improve.
The usual traffic sources are becoming less and less productive on a daily basis, be it a culmination of the tubes/economy/cross sales, I'm not sure.. all I know is people who say there has been zero affect are full of shit. The economy alone has touched everyone in one way or another.
I use to be able to double my ROI with ease, now I'm lucky to get 15-20%.
There are only two different options as I see it, either:
A) lie to your traffic and rip them off
B) be completely honest in your marketing approach and gain their trust
But perhaps that's just me
