I’m in the wrong business – I should instead by promoting fortune telling, as according to this recent survey from goo Research and reported on by japan.internet.com a not insignificant percentage of computer users have paid real money for a reading.
Demographics
Between the 4th and 6th of March 2010 1,075 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 51.5% of the sample were male, 16.5% in their teens, 17.6% in their twenties, 20.7% in their thirties, 16.6% in their forties, 16.2% in their fifties, and 12.5% aged sixty or older.
I was very tempted to insert an advertisement for some kind of paid fortune telling service, but sadly my morals overrode my wallet, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Google overrides both of them and sticks some suitable astrology adverts along with this post…
