Too many L@@KERS and few buyers?

    It seems that the online marketing supply outnumbers the demand. People looking but not buying. Do you think the current economy is affecting sales of your products and services? Has online marketing conditioned people to look for freebies?

    I think it really depends on what kind of service or product you're offering. If you sell a product that helps people find a job, I would think that that would be more successful in this economy. People are always looking for freebies, so I don't think the economy has conditioned people to look for them more as much as it conditions people to watch their spending more carefully on things that aren't free. Just my opinion.

    Personally, I think the economy has affected online shopping. I am spending less money in general because my income has decreased. Imagine how many people out there are doing the same thing... Then again it could be the products that you are trying to sell, as chrcascai said. Some things are just harder to sell than others. If customers have more than one option they will chose what is best for them, which means one merchant will be chosen out of a bunch of merchants.

    Most items online are cheaper then in stores..

    Depending on what your selling your sales might increase

    I don't think so.
    Coz my business is increase steadily in this time.
    Many job seeker join my site to seek job while company increase their spending on the recruitment ads to hire talented worker.

    There will always be people looking.... but, why are they looking? - they are looking to purchase something that ultimately takes their fancy, or relates to their interests..

    Well, ya thats right !

    Even then the best sellers are selected by buyers !

    And mine work has never been affected by economy at all.
