    Yes I have been on the decline for the past two months. It took a bit longer for the recession to hit my business then others. However, I do know for a fact, that when Google banned PR from just about every member here who focused on SEO, that killed A LOT of sales and the recession started shortly thereafter. I was making $250 - $500 per day on directories alone before Google decided to make us suffer under their dictatorship.

    I noticed a drop 4th quarter of last year and then Jan sucked the big one. It's been coming back slowly each month since but has not lived up to 08 so far.

    Just hold on to what you've got and you'll come through just fine on the other side.

    Well the reason a Recession exist is cos the money ain't moving around. Which directly means less sales ;)
