Rose,

My feelings exactly. eCPM today was one of highest ever but CTR just isn't there. I've talked to several of my past and present clients in small businesses lately and nearly all of them say their business environment sucks at the moment...

Most of them aren't getting clicks on their ads or calls from old media advertising. Seems like everyone is hunkering down and trying to get through. I think also (in USA) many folks are beginning to understand that cost of doing business is going to skyrocket over the next few years as we move to a redistribution of wealth and expansion of social services. I'm thinking of taking EU language lessons so I can keep up with the trend.
