Press Release Summary: SEO and The Credit Crunch, do they really go hand in hand?
What is the first thing to be cut back on when a business finds itself struggling
due to the national and international financial climate.

Press Release Body: London, UK, September 17, 2008 -- servicewrap.net, website
promotion and search engine optimization provider for 6 years, has released results
from its straw poll, regarding the relation between SEO and the credit crunch, and
how advertising appears to be the first thing to go - and not rightly so.

SEO and The Credit Crunch, do they really go hand in hand? What is the first thing
to be cut back on when a business finds itself struggling due to the national and
international financial climate. A straw poll conducted by website marketing
provider Servicewrap.net says it is advertising, and streamlining of budgets with
regards to all elements of marketing and promotion.

However, whilst the straw poll found that some in the online business world tend to
shut down their advertising to effectively 'cost-cut' when times are hard, it also
found bizarrely that the majority of online businesses polled, budget cutting in
their marketing campaigns also believed that by doing so the situation might only
become worse for them - whilst those customers still searching for their products
and services will now only find their competitors who have not ceased promotional
spend on SEO and other advertising services.

"Those who shut down their advertising might as well shut up shop", was
the consensus between business still rallying behind the notion that by increasing
spend, or at least by maintaining it they could in fact attain more of the market
share than before, as the competition who were once in their place were no longer
visible.

Whilst the credit crunch is effecting not online business, but traditional 'bricks
and mortar' business, true recession may only be 6 - 12 months away depending on
which financial analyst you choose to believe. If this is to be the case, online
business should look at SEO, and the power of natural rankings in the search engines
to alleviate the burden during what could be difficult times ahead. By spending now,
to achieve more later, it might help signal less of the death knell over the months
to come.

community for 6 years. For more information on how Servicewrap can help you beat the
