My daughters site has had a steady increase in sales, and a slight increase in adwords costs. Apart from one huge overnight buying splurge by her subscribers, which we are still trying to account for and learn from. She did not do enough work for a while on creating enough testing. I am beginning to understand your advice on testing, it is MAJOR! I also agree with your assessment of the recessions possible effect on Australia. A sniffle of recession in America has historically meant that Australia will get the financial flu real good! Consequently I am a bit jittery about the timing of the next stage of my dauter's business developement. Her new joomla web page is about to go online, she will be opening her new blog, and looking at spreading the marketing. The possibility of our economy hitting hard times is a worry. To be safe, I guess I will encourage lots of split testing first, there are still some graphics that need squashing. (thank you for the tip and ready made picture, you are most kind.} Yes Michael, I can report a little change, but no slow down.
