I've watched the $ go from $1.43:£1 to last night $1.90. With avs sales in general dropping dramatically over the last 18 months, it has hit quite a few webmasters over here who relied on their avs business. There were some very rich webmasters who got in at the start back in 1997, and were making a fortune. A couple of these guys have given up the biz due to the general drop.
I for one have seen my avs income, from 3 of them, drop from $2000+ a month to not even $300... Thank god I have pay sites, where I've seen a 100% increase in sales over the same period and I get to keep !00% of the sales most of the time against a % from the avs. A simple reason why we outside the US moan is this:
Early last year $1000 = £699 at $1.43
Today at $1.90: $1000 = £526
Is that a good enough reason for us to moan ?
In the US $1 is $1 but in the rest of the world it isn't any more . I've told US friends who are coming over here that if they smoke to make sure they bring enough with them as they cost almost $9 a pack in the UK !! The current exchange rate is great for those of us visiting the States but you'll soon find the cost of goods imported to the States rising dramatically and then you to will be affected.
