That would be a nice gift for me. You see, most of the websites I made are in english, and most of the offers I promote are from US merchants or at least paid in USD. This wouldn’t be a problem if we were back in 2002.

At this time, we, Europe people, just switch from our national currency to the Euro and $1 = 1Euro. It’s not true anymore. The Euro is very strong and kept getting higher versus the dollar, or maybe it’s the dollar that gets lower, and I think it’s even both. The European economy seems going better than the US one.

The currency is just one reflect of the economy and, well, I’m not an economy analyst so I’ll stop figuring why and how it happened (I’ve read newspapers and watched TV news). At the exact time I’m writing these words $1 = 0.67 €. Ouch ! 5 years earlier I would not have to do the math to know how much I earned.

This last week has been very profitable to me and I saw one product I’m promoting bringing me more than $1000, and sales are still coming. What a great news I said, then I just thought about the dollar/euro rate.

Since the payment of these commissions should be in my paypal account around the 20th of December, requesting a transfer should make the funds in my bank account close to Christmas.

So PLEASE, Santa, hear my prayer, make the dollar stronger for Christmas !
