Interesting that ad revs would be a concern. In our planning meeting yesterday, word was the cost of advertizing, (TV and radio was going to be going up 10-15%. Recent mergers in TV and radio across the country have given more pricing power to the comm channels. We are having to be more selective and focused on where we spend our ad $$ this year. I would think that the folks being hurt by cut backs in I-net ad spending would be the marginal players and the money would funnel to the proven properties like AOL/YHOO . BWDIK. Cracking the I-net code remains a top priority because that is where folks are spending their time. If you want to reach them, you gotta be on the net. My Real time quotes from Ask-R are 35 minutes old. They suck.
