    I haven't noticed any decline at all in profits. If you are marketing products or services that help people earn more or save more, then you can't go wrong. There are more people looking for ways to earn additional income now than ever before. Peace.

    I think it is already having an affect on people who relay on adsense as an income. Less people have jobs = Less webmasters investing money on adwords = less money for people who run adsense.

    I think online businesses are pretty much recession proof businesses if you know what you are doing. There are several arguments for that claim.

    That can be expected in a slow economy... Debts are what drive resessions.

    Nope, not at all. My earnings are even a bit better now compared to this time last year.

    That's great hearing some positive feedback, and I'm glad to hear so many are doing well online even during the recession. Lets hope it continues.

    One effect I've seen is the recession seems to be bringing more people to the Internet, looking for ways to make money.

    Luckily my products are based on making money in the stock market so lots of people are interested in that now...and sales have skyrocketed!

    When(or if) people get fat and happy again my sales will probably return to normal.

    I write professionally online, and one of my main clients halted everything. In that regard, the recession did affect me.

    But my traffic earnings have gone up. Not enough to replace my main client, but it's better than nothing.

    My earnings have actually gone up since this "recession". I think most of the decline or rise in income has most to do with what niches people are in.

    Recession is the time we have more sales. Make money , Credit repair and anything under the sun that can save a person his money or his time would be gobbled up big time
