We appreciate Laurie Sullivan at MediaPost finding something positive to write about today. Her article for Online Media Daily begins: “Despite economic woes rattling nerves about ad budgets, experts expect search advertising and marketing to hold up well.” She continues:

Steve Lagnado–controller at Didit.com, which manages 100 accounts, each spending between $50,000 and $2 million monthly–and Peter Hershberg–managing partner at Reprise Media, whose clients shell out about $100,000 per month in paid search–don’t expect to see search budgets cut anytime soon.

We’d like to intepret this to mean that online media and ecommerce will remain relatively healthy even while business conditions in the bricks-and-mortar world endure a rough patch.
