Total online retail sales = ~$220,000,000,000

"Total online retail sales, including travel, reached $219.9 billion in 2006, or 8.2 percent of all retail sales.

Online retail sales excluding travel totaled $146.5 billion, or 6 percent of total retail sales. That's expected to increase to $174.5 billion this year."


That's a lot and will increase so it's something people should start looking into. Also think about if they added webmaster sales like hosting, advertisements, designs, domains, seo, coding, etc. it would be a massive number! A lot of money gets passed through online sales and we can all make something from it if we find that 'thing'.

It's great to hear and the internet is so great .

 

That's good for the e-commerce industry

 

I wonder how much of that was made from websites owned by DP members...

 

All of it.. jk.

It is indeed good to hear that the internet keeps growing and growing. More people = more clicks LOL.

 

I'll claim credit for a million or so.

 

Thats great that sales will increase. That means the market isn't saturated yet.

 

Nice trivia. Any direct link to this news?
