When the going gets tough, advertising is always to go, but PPC is a form of direct marketing as well. Wouldn't be great if we all saw PPCs across many industries drop for once? Nick Stamoulis's last blog post..Are You Familiar With These PPC Terms?

In many instances companies cut advertising expenditure when times get tough. I can only see an increase in advertising spend on-line as companies are looking for the less inexpensive, forms of marketing that bring results.

I would there for assume that the branding “type” marketing methods would take the knock and not on-line.

PS3>>> Significant yes, comparatively speaking. But worth a 10% decline in their stock price? I'm not so sure about that. This stock is being sold purely on emotion not on the fact that they are coming out with all these new products, increasing their distribution load (pageviews) and acquiring businesses that have no other choice but to increase profits. I for one am glad they missed their mark. Now I can buy them at a discount. Erik's last blog post..Surrounded by Freelance Entrepreneurs

I didn’t look much of a problem at first glance but Google is actually just under 15% on Wall Street’s expectations. That is a pretty significant.

I don't think this spells trouble at all. For one thing, everyone new it was coming. In tough times for businesses, what are you cutting first. Advertising. GOOG was bound to miss estimates sooner or later, I think it was impressive they didn't last time... As for MSFT, well, they have to make some adjustments but still in the game. I just think this spells great buying opportunities for those who invest, nothing more for marketers and web entrepreneurs. Maybe look for some new products and deals from the two companies to encourage more spending in areas that were hit. Erik's last blog post..Surrounded by Freelance Entrepreneurs
