    I believe the summer slump is over

    Sales will be steadily going up for the next few months and then sales will explode on Dec 26......Let the good times roll until April 2009!

      Agreed. Last year this is when my sales rebounded. I've already noticed a slight uptick this past week.

      BTW, who is going to be the first to post that business doesn't slow down in the summertime?

        it doesnt for everyone, personally my record for sales was in july
        some people have been taking a hit hard since tube sites came out and the economy going down hill in the usa.. anyone relying only on mgp/tgp traffic has probably seen a hit in their sales and it probably will get worse but thats just my

          This topic has nothing to do whatsoever with with tube sites or tgp traffic....

                I'm saying that what happens between you and your sponsors has nothing to do with what's going on with my own site....I've been doing this for eight years and I know what the cycle is....

                I'm not talking about sending sales to multiple sponsors....I'm talking about my own sales.

                      you should have taken macroeconimics because i dont think supply and demand drives the porn market...

                        heres three reasons why
                        1) its summer and everybodys outside having fun in the sun.
                        2) its summer and the kids are off school and mom and dad dont want to get caught looking at porn
                        3) tube sites

                          well then tubes giving away free 30 min movies should not hurt sales at all

                                    lol, are you serious? a perfect example of someone that should have taken microeconomics:

                                    from wikipedia:
                                    "Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies how individuals, households and firms make decisions to allocate limited resources..."

                                    Your demand for porn is low when you are outside most summer nights drinking on a patio with your buddies and a couple of chicks and theres a good chance you're getting laid.

                                    VS.

                                    Your demand for porn on a dark freezing winter weeknight in January with a major snowstorm approaching and all your honeys are staying in...

                                    Im speaking from personal experience as well of course

                                        Exactly.

                                        While some summers in the past I've dipped 10-15%. The past two years I haven't. Where one thing might be down, let's say memberships to a particular site, clip or DVD sales will be up. So it balances out.

                                        However, summer is no different than any other month in the past two years. It seems to follow that trend for us. One thing up, and other down, bottom line the same or higher.

                                          Summer slow down, or more correctly warm weather, is the not the same for the U.S. as the REST OF THE WORLD.

                                              I think we need to define the term "Summer Slowdown" so we all are talking about the same thing. To me, "Summer Slowdown" refers to the idea that the demand for online porn slows as a whole due to North American surfer behaviour during the summer months.

                                              Of course everyone's business is different depending on what your selling, your traffic sources and where in the world your surfers are located - and what stage of growth you are in. So whether or not any one person/business feels the effect of Summer Slowdown is a different issue from whether Summer Slowdown exists at all.

                                                Exactly.....

                                                No matter what month it is, someone will be in here posting that it was their "record month".....

                                                That's the same thing as a day trader trying to rationalize his good month with a long term investor who has been doing the same shit long enough to know what the trends are.

                                                  While some summers in the past I've dipped 10-15%. The past two years I haven't. Where one thing might be down, let's say memberships to a particular site, clip or DVD sales will be up. So it balances out.

                                                  However, summer is no different than any other month in the past two years. It seems to follow that trend for us. One thing up, and other down, bottom line the same or higher.

                                                  You just explained the reason why I'm not talking about you.....I'm talking about people who are selling one product over a long period of time to an established customer base.....I'm not talking about how something dips here and I make up for it over there...That's not the same thing and shouldn't be included in the same argument as this one.

                                                    For instance, say I'm Coca Cola, and I know that my product, COCA COLA, is in lower demand during the winter months....Yeah Coke sells their product all over the world but their highest percentage of customers are in the United States.....

                                                    Then here comes Jack in the Box, who sells Coca Cola along with a lot of other shit and says, "Hey, I'm not experiencing any slowdown because my French Fry sales are making up for the slowdown in Coke sales".....Big fucking whoop....Nobody is talking about selling French Fries....We're talking about selling COLA...

                                                          We dipped down quite a bit during August, the rest of the summer had actually been really good, now the past 5 or 6 days on an upturn again. So far today has been really good.

                                                              That is exactly what I saw. Great June and July...then August was looking shitty and my stats remote forecast was coming out about 3 grand short of last month....but then the last 4 days have been so good that I'm back up where I should be. Yesterday was $1,681 today is forecast at $1,919 so I'm happy

It always comes up as a page cannot be displayed when I try to go to it. I see it in your sig and you have it as your homepage. But it never works. So I guess it is always summer for you. LOL!

                                                                      But seriously....what was awmrtreasure? A cash program?

                                                                        2) its summer and the kids are off school and mom and dad dont want to get caught looking at porn
                                                                        3) tube sites
                                                                        you fucking clown.

                                                                        2: Thats seriously the most idiotic theory ive ever heard...i hope you are joking.
                                                                        3: Tube sites hardly affect sales...and for sure not enough to have any noticable impact.

                                                                        Youre new in this industry i guess?

                                                                          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAghhh! Didn't any of you guys pay attention in school? "Would HAVE been bad..." is what you mean. "would of" is not proper English, Sticky. The contraction "would've" sounds like "'would of", that is the root of the problem. I am going to keep correcting everyone until I rid this ridiculous grammatical mistake from GFY.
