Even though Yahoo has been shedding jobs, having recently navigated a swift job transition, it seems to me that there are still loads of jobs out there in the tech industry for online marketers.

Recruiters have not “gone away” as they did after the Web 1.0 crash, in fact, I feel like I’m being hounded more than ever, and demand for search engine marketers is high.

For this reason, to me, it does feel like it is “their” recession more than ours.

I wonder when we are going to really start feeling the recession in the tech sector. The canaries will be the evaporation of marketing positions, and the silencing of the headhunters.

Cheers,

Ever since then, things have been getting out of hand again.

If major companies cut their advertising budget's there's a good chance we'll see a shift from Print/TV to online marketing.The question is what Online Marketing? Paid Search is the most trusted form of online advertising because it is the easiest to track to ROI and has the most apparent impact.Will the new start-ups be able to convince more conservative agencies of other forms of online advertising? Will demographic/behavioral targeting finally take-off and offer a viable alternative to Paid Search? Hi Brian,

No doubt the recession will hit all markets and hit globally.

For start-ups based on an advertising model, I think they can still succeed. If major companies cut their advertising budget’s there’s a good chance we’ll see a shift from Print/TV to online marketing.

The question is what Online Marketing? Paid Search is the most trusted form of online advertising because it is the easiest to track to ROI and has the most apparent impact.

Will the new start-ups be able to convince more conservative agencies of other forms of online advertising? Will demographic/behavioral targeting finally take-off and offer a viable alternative to Paid Search?
