How in the hell are you quantifying that??? i don't believe that, and there is no way in hell that you have any amount of stats (globally) to even hint at that.

I'm happy that China and some other populated 3rd world Countries got online... but they aren't really a subject worth talking about.

come on... please read what i wrote The stats I posted were US stats only, not China. I am not disputing that sales are down. Don't you remember your argument you made about 20 minutes ago. YOU SAID TRAFFIC IS LESS NOW THAN IT WAS BACK IN 2000. I provided you with stats to show you that is not remotely possible. Now you say, well sales are down. No shit, I said that too. And it's not odd sales are down. Sales are down because a LOT of people don't want to buy now because they get it for free. And of the people who do want to buy a lot of them can't now. Not many people had credit card issues back in 2000 with limits, now every other person has a credit card maxed with none left to use. TRAFFIC IS NOT DOWN. SALES ARE. SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES ARE NOT STEALING TRAFFIC OR SALES, THEY ARE A NON FACTOR.

Today what you have is a bottle neck, a few major sites bottled up the traffic and don't share it making it appear like they have some special amount when in reality it's just not spread out.
And then add in the loss of affiliates our global reach has shrunk.

I feel there are still 1000's of sites getting traffic now like they did back in 2000. BUt you also have 1000x more sites than you had back in 2000. So of course some of them will suck because we are splitting up the traffic over more med to small sites. I do agree the top 10 sites have a decent % of the market, but there is still more traffic left out there now than there was 10 years ago for everyone else. It is just split up a little more now because of a lot more sites now.
WTF global reach, one minute you pissing on china and 3rd world countries now you talking about us not having global reach anymore
what the hell?
