Our company has also sufferd with the low dollar rate when we export USD back to the EU.. and i think for euro webmasters it will get worse b4 it gets better. No point moaning or bitching about it... take some action!
We added 2.50 to most of our site memberships to ofset the cost. We tried in on a number of sites to see if it would effect sales... it didnt, cause we have a fucking great product and users didnt bitch. Those that questioned the hike in price were told the reason and most of em understood.
Plus look at billing in Euros or GBP ,,, its not easy but their are some options.
Everyone who has US connections but also has an EU interest is effected by this, and it comes down to market forces and those who are stable enough will survie. We happily will not only survive but will prosper in 2005 regardless of the dollar rate. My 10 cents ... now - turkey time.
