This month is ROUGH - GoFuckYourself.com

ldinternet · 01-09-2004, 11:56 PM

I myself am going through the worst month in years. The traffic is flowing as per usual, but the sales just aren't coming along as they should.

I'm convinced that something is very, very, very fucked up and needs fixing. I just don't know what. Maybe I'll go jump off a bridge.

Anyone else having a tough month?

Paul Markham · 01-10-2004, 12:12 AM

Hits on our site are way down, half the normal level. But it's early and I reckon 80% of our hits are surfers. Get a lot from SE traffic.

But turnover, besides the specials we run, is normal.

TurboTrucker · 01-10-2004, 12:19 AM

I've heard from some mainstream people that sales are way down because it's right after Christmas.

JSA Matt · 01-10-2004, 12:21 AM

I love it

JDog · 01-10-2004, 12:22 AM

Our sales & rebills are up! We're actually doin better than last month!

Yes, the last few days have been really odd.

Traffic is normal, sales are 50% down.

Today is way fucked up, worst day in years!

ldinternet · 01-10-2004, 01:06 AM

I'm feeling really bad about this, there is no way that all that traffic can be there, but sales be this low. It is strange to say the least.

I'm going to get in some new content and domains, and start some fresh campaigns. Hopefully everything will clear up in time for February.

xxxoutsourcing · 01-10-2004, 01:09 AM

Business is good sites are doing ok this month and pushing on to have a better month next month.

Zprogramz · 01-10-2004, 01:14 AM

We have not seen a drop or an increase... about average.

Mr. Marks · 01-10-2004, 01:18 AM

too bad maybe because of the holidays there is so much to pay, but dont worry your sales will climb up at the right time

darnit · 01-10-2004, 01:20 AM

Im seeing a downturn as well, same traffic same sponsors same creatives, but conversions are just dropping....seasonal, economic, cosmic?

wtf, i have no idea why - but hoping it turns around....

VeriSexy · 01-10-2004, 01:24 AM

Your not the first person to post this. First few days of this month were great though

reynold · 01-10-2004, 03:47 AM

Believe me, we've all had that feeling. Unless there's a major technical change that affected how you market, it will even itself out. Its all about adaptation.

KRL · 01-10-2004, 06:39 AM

Just go to the beach and watch the ocean. Business is no different. Everything comes in waves. Sometimes you get large waves. Sometimes small waves. And sometimes the ocean just goes calm and flat with no waves at all.

Its nature's way and she's in charge.

Napolean · 01-10-2004, 06:43 AM

electric bil - $154
phone/internet - $75
car insurance - $70

funds in bank - $50ish

feeling better yet? =b

We feel your pain. This month has been way below average, but January usually is.

Reasons:

1, Surfers credit cards are full.

2, You pay in january for the time you spend celebrating for the holidays in December, if production is low so are sales.

It will turn around soon.

Carrie · 01-10-2004, 06:51 AM

Visa crackdowns are coming anywhere as soon as 5 days from now to 15 days from now.
Gee, ya think the scrubbing might've been turned up? Shaving?

Naaaahhhhh..... cuz no one shaves, right?
