Not surprising but nice to see some stats. This is a great selling point for domain sellers, web developers and online marketers.

The Connected Small Businesses report found that only 16% of businesses are highly engaged with the internet, while 35% of businesses are not engaged with the internet at all.
This is despite the report finding businesses which use the internet as a key business tool are twice as likely to be growing as those that don't.
In addition, they earn twice the revenue per employee compared to businesses that are not engaging with the online world.
Businesses which are engaged with the internet earn 20% more, or $350,000, than those that are not engaged with the net.
"For small businesses with very low digital engagement there is significant low hanging fruit, such as creating a simple informative website for customers, which can increase business performance," the report found.
