My point being, everyone has noticed that the dollar is worth less and less pretty much daily now, i'm not entirely sure how this has affected spending power inside the U.S, that $5 to buy a McD's is now $6 <example> but when it comes to purchasing smut do you believe users feel less compelled to make an impulse purchase to a $30 AVS, purely because they know it costs them more and they can go without it?

Now I know alot of people have been claiming sales have gone through the roof for them, and year after year they increase sales, but has anyone taken the dollars value into consideration when checking ratio?

On the other side of the globe.. people in Europe paying for sites, has anyone seen a drastic increase in sales abroad? I remember when 1GBP would buy $1.4 ... as apposed to $1.85 if sales from inside the U.S have dropped at all, surely it would make sense to target European users just a bit more.

Anyway.. business post I'll give it a few minutes before it drops off the first page, if anyone bothers to read it i'd appriciate your opinion on whether you believe sales have increased/decreased and if possible whether your sales abroad have increased significantly over the past weeks/months as the dollar has pretty much died.

Oh, and pardon the poor use of grammar in the title, it's 6:30am.
