Just because you do 24 sales a day doesen't mean you do 1 sale every hour.

If you do 168 sales a week that doesn't mean your going to do 24 sales a day.

There are good days and bad days. I have been using CCBill since 1999 and have lots of sales data/trends to analyze.

There are days that just generally suck overall over the past 5 years: Like Wednesdays for example. And then there are good days that are generally good, like Sundays.

Then there are other times that suck, the most recent being April 14th and 15th. The IRS TAX PAYMENT DEADLINE.

Also remember that most of the surfers that hit your pages are freeloaders, that traffic will always be there and most of them aren't even capable of buying a fucking thing. Thus you will always have traffic numbers. It's the smaller percentage of surfers that are capable of buying and these people work and have jobs and have vacations, pay taxes, etc etc.

Now of course there are times when things fuck up like the recent dos attacks. This is a different issue but luckily happens very very rarely.
