    Anybody's traffic/sales down?

    Even though I run several different sites, I've noticed that all of them have slowed down in the past month or so. Traffic is down and the upgrade rate is down as well.

    Is anybody else experiencing this?

    If so - what is the explanation for this? I thought October usually a good sales month! Could it be that people are focus on the election more than on the erection?

      No change either way for me... which tells me I'm not working hard enough.
      Sleep well, and dream of large women.

              Isn't October supposed to be a very strong month for most?

                      My sites have been slow for 2 months but are picking up fast with every night worth of work I put into them. Good Luck on yours.

                              October started off awesome!

                              but yesterday and today were below normal... i blame the fuckin holiday and shit (cdn thanksgiving, us columbus day)... makes people get all family-ish which is bad for sales

                                                          That's cause you know all your sponsors personally and they aren't going to put you on "permashave".

                                                          I haven't looked at your site recently. You could prolly make PIB work.

                                                          Shit, that sounds like sucking up.

                                                                          Unsurprisingly the worst hit has (had?) ibill as a secondary

The affiliate program has been on a steady uphill climb. Each month better than the last.

                                                                                                                                          You know, I think you could start a thread like this on any random day and you'll get the usual barrage or responses ranging from 'record setting highs' to 'average' to 'worst ever'.

                                                                                                                                          I honestly believe that it's a highly volatile equation that's hard to peg down. Why does a site convert at 1:17 one day and then 1:700 the next? The first week of a month may start off brutal then explode in the last 7 days for record setting highs.

                                                                                                                                          I find that looking at a longer range forecast (month, quarter) shows much more stable conversions.

                                                                                                                                          With all that said....

                                                                                                                                          I have noticed a steady decline in my *you guessed it* CCBill stats. Not just the usual above mentioned ups and downs, but a static decrease for well over a month. Typical days would go from 1:250 to 1:700, with an average this year of 1:450. Starting this september, things have fallen off, and don't appear to be getting better with the averge closer to 1:750. Now, this isn't one day here, this is close to 7 weeks.

                                                                                                                                          I love CCBill, and have learned to ignore the daily/weekly/monthly fluctuations, but we're going on 2 months now with no 'bounceback' to keep things within normal parameters.

                                                                                                                                          Sometimes hard to take your owm advice

I do not look at day to day revenues, but I see a decline in upgrades. My traffic is down slightly, but not that much, however with the same amount of people visiting much less sign up for free and even less upgrade! It's been like this for over 6 weeks - that's why I'm wondering now!
