it opens a lot of opportunities for ecommerce sites as well as a boon for them who design and develop the sites. When the expenditure grows (buyers) the demand for new stores will be more.. good catch temi!

You can definitely bet on that TeamPlayer, the only question is by how much? The increase last year was 50%, first half of this year 38%, if the second half of this year also bring another 38% then we will have a growth of 74% in 2008.

Thanks to the high gas prices, online stores have gone up too.
