Anyhow, All i was saying was just because I use CC bill and you do too, why would that have an effect on sales during the week?
I need not argue these things man.

the only reason I posted on this - was because several other amateur sites came to me saying that they had noticed a decrease in their sales. (sunday, monday, tuesday).
But just because we're amateur - our traffic sources aren't necessarily the same - however the demographics probably are.
anyway - the biller does effect sales rates.
It's called scrubbing. it's alledged some processors scrub harder at certain times of the month.
the reason they might do this - is because they are approaching the upper bound on how many charge backs they can have - and so they want to be REALLY sure that if they process the transaction they are not going to get a charge back from it.
So there is a second variable.
If 45% of the global internet traffic is Based in the US and the west coast is hit by another worm virus and has ISP/Network outages - you're going to notice a drop in signups.
etc...
Tour and the girls on your tour - is of course - NO 1. but there are daily fluctuations. Some of which go far outside 2 standard deviations ... some even 3 .. and it's at that point that you start scratching your head.
We may never know the real reason - but guessing at something - let's you get on with your day - and tomorrow - even if you don't change the tour at all - sales bounce back to normal.
It's like going to church - it might not do any good - but it makes some people feel better - cuz they think they will okay after death.
