The question is, can you get em to come back?? When you stop advertising what have you got? Do your page hits get cut in half overnight?? David, This is accurate. Some may disagree. Amazon seems to believe they can cut back their advertising. I believe not. I have run retail jewelry stores not on the net for twenty years. We have a lot of repeat customer which is important. However, if we cut our advertising budget, sales drop. The competitors that advertise pick up the business. The net is not going to change that. Glenn
