Google will always (in my opinion at least) persist.. I simply don’t see them buckling to economic troubles, even when it seemed as thought they might I had no doubt they’d bounce back and will likely end up stronger than ever

Great news. If online advertising continues to grow, albeit more slowly, during the economic mess, just wait until the economy starts to turn the corner….whether that’s 6 months from now or 20 months from now.

Interesting to see what will happen. I find Google a lot of times to be pretty ignorant and arrogant. Especially to people who they might need in future. And, then I am referring to the many web masters they totally abuse and then say, sorry dude, your adsense account is closed. Why? Because we say so.

They’ll be fine in the long run as online advertising will increase. It levels the playing for so many businesses and allows many others to expand to an audience they would have never known.

@Jayson, @Patrick & @Jacques

It is suprising, especially when we hear doom and gloom around every economic corner.

I think businesses are starting to discover the unquie advantages online advertising has over traditional. The fact that you can track a visitor from query through purchase is something almost all traditional forms of advertising cannot offer.

When dollars are scarce any business – small or large – is going to be more cognizant of the dollars they spend and the return on that investment.

Thanks for commenting –

Online advertising just makes more and more sense as the world slips deeper into depression. It just sidesteps so many traditional costs….

I agree with Jayson. I would have guess that advertising would have stayed the same or gone down with Google and Microsoft. I guess that online advertising has been affected by the recent recession and actually gotten stronger from it. Patrick's last blog post..Make Your Own Homeade Pesticides and Repellants

Good news – the increase in Google and Microsoft advertisers is pretty stunning. I wouldn’t have guessed either would have gained that much this year…Yahoo!…nothing good still, eh?
