our ezine traffic has been down by half, which is usually our traffic indicator. The hegre webmaster said that he had two very strong weeks and then last week sales dropped off a cliff. this weekend they have recovered a bit.
i've seen the same trend with the galitsin and vulis sites. actually, i've even had a conversation with the guys from The Onion and they say their traffic is low too. CCBill says they've seen an average 20% drop in sales across all of their sites for July.
Our sites broke even for July compared to June (2.5% growth across the network) because there was a strong beginning of the month. I think in August we'll see a slow beginning and a strong last two weeks as people get back into their routines and start getting their kids ready for school.
By September we should be growing rapidly as we have been.
By the way, TGP traffic is always a low converter because that traffic is populated by people looking for free photos. Our TGPs usually convert at 1:600.
