Overall internet users used slightly less the comparison
websites in 2009 compared to 2008, like for like month
in
November. Many well known companies have dropped where
others have gained ground like
Price Hoover the
price comparison website.
Who would have thought that moneysupermarket had lost
40% of their visitors in November? Maybe that's why we
are
all seeing all the advertising on TV with the Iranian
actor comedian, Omid Djalili (Gladiator, Mummy)
endorsing their
brand name, website and services.
It is obvious internet users in Britain are using
more and more independent upcoming price comparison
websites
rather than companies like ciao and shopzilla. |

In the Video Game industry all the major players have
lost ground verses the new and up coming independent
websites like Games Basement and Shopto.net which have
done very well. |

Some review websites have done well
where others have down bad. Credibility is playing a
major
role here, where
internet users are forming there own
opinion about internet companies rather than reading
other
people's reviews,
possibly thinking if the reviews are
they for real? |

Other than Tesco, which are getting "penalised" by the
British public, most supermarkets online are doing very
well.
My wife and I too have used Tesco online several times
and they just keep getting it wrong. They need to get
their
act together if they want a share of the Internet
Market. Or do they? |

This could be the end of several high street retailers
like PC World and Dixons? You heard it here first at
Whitehatworks.com - the trend? Internet users are leaving the high
street and turning to Internet based companies. |

Apart from easyjet and bmibaby all other holiday and
travel related companies are suffering. The recession
has its
victims and that is luxury holidays abroad. Most British
are staying home and going on caravan holiday? |
