From Jeremy Liew, and the Wall Street Journal:

We enter 2009 looking down the barrel of a recession. In this environment, I predict the following trends for consumer Internet companies:

1. Consumers seek cheap thrills
2. Trading real money for virtual goods
3. Web 2.0 leaders pull further away from the pack
4. Online ad prices continue to fall, alternatives help make up some of the ground
5. Getting serious about monetizing non U.S. traffic

So What?

Well, #1 is no surprise - people come to the web to be entertained or solve a problem.  Is your website doing that?

#3,4, &5 are what will separate the success stories from those that merely survive the recession.  Anyone can build a web page (well, almost).

Getting your website noticed and making it a catalyst for sales is the where the real talent is.  See how a small investment can turn your business into a recession winner!
