it baffles me with some of these small business owners. I dont know if they are just scared or stupid. I was trying to give away over $1,000 of AdWords vouchers and even creating campaigns for local places and no one wanted it. FREE advertising? no thanks!

i think a lot of it has to do with most people are lazy and just think things are going to fall into their lap. rather than actually working hard, they just sit around and blame the economy.
a friend of mine has a small sporting goods business and he complains all the time about no one coming in, so instead he raised up his prices on stuff, then the people that were coming in, dont anymore.
I tried to tell him how to bring in more business and get those people to keep shopping, but he says he's not going to bother with people online, its not worth it
