What was going on yesterday, Sunday the 5th?

[GeorgeTH]

My lowest traffic in months! ...and that includes most of 'your' summer (June - August)! ...all trades were really low, too.

So what was going on on the 4th/5th of December?

[Jim]

Christmas shopping, decorating...etc

[Brav]

I noticed that too, traffic seemed to drop dramatically..

[sam]

I glad it's not just me:) Yeah I first noticed it last night and today when my click thrus were a lot lower than usual. That's weird..seems to be picking up now.

[GeorgeTH]

Must be all the dutch surfers! LOL

Their major christmas thingy is on SINTERCLAAS (Nikolaus in Germany), which is the 6th of December...

College finals are this week - the kids are studying (LOL) instead of surfing

Wanted to blame my ISP since there's been a few issues last week.

we always have traffic coming in from weird places so when it dips for one reason it ends up shooting higher because of some shit in asia.

ive about stopped analyzing them numbers..

I thought it was the 6th Europe-wise. The day when Santa comes and brings lots of sweets to the kids... and then comes Christmas when everyone gets presents, the women do the cooking and baking for 3 days, all traditional meals and start again on Dec. 30.

Sunday the 5th was one of my biggest days. Matter of fact, I had more sign-ups Saturday and Sunday and Monday each and every day than most days for the past month or two. And now today (7th) I have had absolutely no sign-ups at all. GO FIGURE.

Who knows the trend in this business.....I don't think there is one.

Cheers!
