I think it'd be cool to hear some HN anecdotes as well. What's been your experience with Mibbit? Although we don't have any advertisements on the main TicketSt

  Agreed @ anecdotes on here. In terms of Mibbit, advertising has been extremely stable for the last 6 months (adsense). (In absolute terms it's been growing, along side mibbit). I used to do a lot more affiliate marketing on another site, but still see a fair amount of commissions from it, even though it's "dead". I think online advertising is pretty healthy. Anyone else have any interesting data/thoughts?

    A lot of what I do revolves around online advertising. Some things, such as redesigning sites & the like (which is also really a form of online advertising) have softened a little. Things like Adwords have gone sideways: Some reducing spending to cope with reduced income, some increasing for the same reason. I think slight net positive. Client growth is to irregular to know what's going on without looking at years instead of months. Put the two together & I read it as deferring bulky expenses, but overall strengthening slowly. Anyway, the areas we deal in there's a lot of cash still stuck in legacy budgets: yellow pages, local newspapers& crappy online advertising. New companies aren't going there at all, but all of them are going online one way or another.
