where to find reliable data on how global recession affects internet marketing?

 

Given that we aren't even in a global recession yet it would be a tad difficult to see how it will impact internet marketing. Unless of course you have a time machine.

 

Here are a few articles with commentary about the impact of the current economy on the field of internet marketing:

I wrote an article about how the financial crisis will affect online marketing. Basically the market grows so fast, and is so global that even though the times are getting worse, it just slows down the growt rate a bit.

Search ads are even better. They will probably grow just as good, if not better during these times.

Marketing Sherpa (www.marketingsherpa.com) probably has some stuff on this too, they're one of the biggest internet marketing research companies in the world, but you have to pay for most of their research so I'm not sure what's available right now.

 

What global recession? Are we in one? Is there likely to be one? One of the huge advantages of internet marketing is that your reach is global: America may have problems but Australia is still doing well despite what the newspapers are saying

 

According to some guys we aren't even in a global recession yet

Where do you live???

 

thanks for the useful resources.

the economy is going down in America and Europe and financial markets worldwide and i am sorry if a wrongly named it "global recession".

 

Ask Nielsen Research, watch the television, study your environment or society you are in, learn by experience.

 

We're right on the verge of a global recession, so there's probably very little available on this right now. I've tried searching around, but haven't had much luck finding any data.

For those of you "what global recession", here's the nuts and bolts - the US economy has hit rock bottom. Plain and simple right? Well the problem is that they've got their fingers in everybody's pies, so when they go down they drag everybody with them. The US is feeling it the worst, and Europe is right behind them right now, last week I saw that the Crown was giving $80 billion pounds to stabilize some of the financial institutions in the UK - holy crap that's alot of money.

Think about it this way - the US buys just about everything. Every production country in the world sends them stuff, and they are the biggest consumer. So the US is no longer buying like they were a few months back, which is reducing the revenue of the companies making these products, which causes layoffs and budget cuts around the world. This causes unemployment, which causes less buying to happen in your local markets, which cause the cycle to repeat over and over.

A news report I saw this morning on CBC said they're predicting it's going to be worse than the 1980 recession that hit the world, which was pretty bad while it lasted.
