One of the e-publishers I am with actually tells authors that while they aren't going to discourage promotion, they have not managed to directly correlate sales with any of the commonly accepted online promotion tactics. They have basically said that the best promotion is to write the next book, and one of the things they see happen too frequently is for new authors to get so busy promoting that they don't have time to write. And that's just not good.
That's the first time I've ever heard this of ebooks. To date, all of my ebooks are related to one of the publishers, so I don't see a lot of the ebook side of things; thanks for mentioning this!
