I'm a publisher and not worried yet. The past two months I've sold a lot more advertising than I did this time last year. A lot of small businesses still need to get their name out there and they can't afford to be scared off by economic turmoil. For them it's sink or swim, no way they can wait to weather the storm. Those small businesses with advertising budgets are still going to spend them. The future looks uncertain for publishers. I’m a publisher and not worried yet.

My revenue from GoogleAds dropped by about 60% from September to October, even though the impressions and click-through rate stayed about the same, because the payment per click fell through the floor. In times of recession, advertising revenue is usually one of the first things to drop off, so why should we be surprised that we are already seeing the effects of it on internet ads? This is news?

In Oct 2008 I published 2 times more impressions than Oct 2007 and earned 2 times less, so that's a CPM decrease of 4 times. I sure as hell am jumping ship pretty darn soon.

I'm sure there is at least another 25-50% drop across the board before we start to see any type of growth. Things will only get worse for the next 6 months until there is some stabilization in the capital markets in the US. Things are a mess right now. It's funny they still stay away from the "r" world, but all economic factors are pointing that we've already entered a recession months ago and will be well into late 2009.
