I wonder if merchants could be convinced to contribute to this project themselves. They would have to respond to an email once a month to verify they are still in business or something. Also, maybe they would be willing to fill out a poll asking how much business (roughly) they do each month.
What I do for merchants listed on my Shire Silver site is have them pay $1/month. If they decide to no longer participate, they have an incentive to update that status. It might be a trivial amount, but it does help ensure only those who are serious in acceptance are listed. Perhaps a satoshi/month or so might work for this.
whoa! That sounds like alot of work 
more work than I can handle. Maybe some one wants to step in..?
mayyyybeeeeee...

I suggest adding some more colors like orange, pink, yellow, dark green, etc. Right now there seems to be a lot of shades of blue that are a little tougher to distinguish. Not that big a deal, but thought I'd throw it out there.
Looking forward to seeing if the trend changes this month! I haven't had a chance to review the data with open office. I've been too bust @ work preparing for my vacation.
Ciao!

How is march coming along?

Yes it includes real world stores as well. All entries from indent "4 Internet & Mobile services" are counted.

how do you view the Merchants_&_Donations.ods file? What program can I use?
And this does not include brick & mortar stores, correct?

DECLINE!
update (watch first post of thread)
Just like you explained in the first post this is due to a cleanup process. In recent months there has been talk that the list needs to be evaluated from top to bottom, not many have participated in it but I think this has already had a significant effect. It will probably lead to more decline when evaluation of all entries is finished.update (watch first post of thread)
It's a good thing for Bitcoin users because the list had a good number of dead/zombie sites, which will now be removed.
DECLINE!

Update
I was very suprised to see this number has only increased by 100 or so in 6 months. I was expecting to see exponential growth instead of linear. Estimating the black market growth would be interesting. It was attempted in this thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-much-daily-transaction-volume-does-the-silk-road-see-40758
I believe it will continue to be linear until Bitcoin is accepted as payment by a prominent, well known merchant. We need only a couple of those and it'll explode to exponential growth. But not before. There is simply not enough marketing potential yet to fuel massive merchant growth. I'm very confident that this will change in a couple of years though, it requires a spark of some sort. It's just a matter of time.

Updated
Since my last update 2 month have past. In despite of a continued devaluation of bitcoin against real world currencies, the number of businesses accepting bitcoin on- as well as offline has risen constantly. Especially the segment of professional services, like software- consulting or creative services has picked up. Some previous entries vanished and are not part of the count anymore, others were created.
I will continue to illustrate the stats of the list at irregular intervals, feedback and contributions welcome!
