It is actually quite productive when webmasters confer on these trends to see that they are trends and not the normal daily fluctuation.It stops them worrying about what they have done wrong and waste time on thinking what they have to do if they know that most peers are in the same boat.
I think I have seen you posts your stats somewhere and its obvious that your are a ppc man.
Me, I rely on free traffic so when I post my stats you know that it is mostly net profit and no employess help me earn my income.
This is my stats for Nastydollars this month.You can clearly see the downward trend.I also have comparable sales with Bangbros.Again the same downward trend of sales.

HOW do you see a trend in those numbers.. ?????? Like i said you need to look week to week anyways.. day to day you will drive yourself insane, Like i also said some days will be up and naturally some will be down,,, looks like you proved everything i have been saying with your stats.
What happened on 4-6 WOW that was worse then tax day.. how do you explain that... something terrible must have happened that day? terrorist attack i missed ? Not sure if it was you but someone stated sales is down across the board with all his sponsors.. well lets see if your traffic goes down or quality of traffic or some problem on your end, wouldn't affect all your sponsors ?
I do purchase a good bit of paid traffic but i have more free traffic.
Comments ilike this are amazing: " It is actually quite productive when webmasters confer on these trends to see that they are trends and not the normal daily fluctuation.It stops them worrying about what they have done wrong and waste time on thinking what they have to do if they know that most peers are in the same boat."
thats 100% of the problem and the wrong way to think. People see the post " sales down today" and the people with bad sales flock to it... so everyone convinces everyone else that they are having a bad day because of taxes. I wonder how many of these people have "real" problems they will now over look because they can just as easy blame it on taxes and take the rest of the day off.
How do you explain the other people who are posting here that they are having good days!!!!???!!! how do you explain that? Honesly, i dont give a fuck, keep thinking what you thinking, which is usually goes hand and hand with keep making what you are making.... I know this is an incorrect way of thinking so you can believe what you want to beleive.. blame the pope if that makes you feel better.
