How did '07 treat you?

It's been a disappointing year with just one obvious trend (for my sites, EFV, for my sites!) - down. January revenue was OK, even though 5% lower than 2006, but the year just did not develop. Each month saw new losses compared to 2006, through to the very end, the terrible December (-40% compared to 2006).

My hopes for 2008 are limited. In the past two years the 30 day average revenue picked up between 25th and 27th of December with a very clear trend (for several weeks, the 30 day average for each day was higher than the day before). This year it seems to be delayed by two weeks. There seems to be some stabilization, but I do not see this clear upward swing. Boo!

I hope for a good Adsense competitor to make it to market in 2008.
