the largest fluctuation we usually see in sales is 30% from day to day. It's of course either up or down, so there's always a mean value to consider.

Now if you try to apply that in to monthly base, you'll see from month to month the ratio goes up or down at a very small %. Ours is from 0 to 10% top and we have a steadily growth in sales for several months in row. As webmaster myself i can tell you that if your traffic has the quality to get 16 sales or so per day frequently, the drop to 1 is not normal.
