I've suffered a HUGE drop in sales since August and I've had more than a couple webmasters email me with "Did they turn they internet off?" Seriously, one guy had a friend buy a subscription from another state just to see if his site was still alive.
What's the culprit? I'm not so quick to dismiss the economy since it seems to be more than coincidence that it all hit at the same time. The danger could be that surfers will change their patterns permanently because of it. Another culprit, at least in some of the specialized nichemarkets I service, is the uploading of videos to peer to peer networking sites. Some webmasters make less, more specialized videos and if you can download them by the dozen off of *****, well how long is that webmaster going to last?
I'm going to stay put hoping that a turn around in the economy will make a difference, if it doesn't then I'll probably be going back to computer repair.
