Lack of funding and lack of spending may hit hard not only small but also big advertisers, for whom low levels of business could lead to staff redundancies and as a result to general downturn in economic conditions.
Some say that the crises will be over, but some warn that further reduction in Google's share price could be an indication of a collapse in global advertising that has not occurred since World War II and a reversal of the trend of ad dollars migrating online.
