"Cyber Monday" sets a new record for spending

I hope you were part of this record day. The day after Thanksgiving is known as "Cyber Monday" and this year was an exceptional one.

Reuters is reporting this morning that shoppers spent a record $733 million! This was up over 21% over last years "Cyber Monday".

Online buyers rose 38 percent from a year ago and the data also showed that 60 percent of the money spent came from work computers!

The most trafficked sites came as no surprise; they included Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and Dell.

I have been real busy building a lot of shopping sites and blogs getting ready for "Cyber Monday" and it indeed payed off. It is not too late to get that shopping site up now.
