				 | My sales are up today...  If they are down tomorrow maybe i can blame it on being overcast across the NorthEast US ?     Don't blame it on tax day, lol what does that have to do with anything ?

				 | Ours are down as well. Will you have to tell people you're down when everyone else is, otherwise they may think you're bullshitting. Sales dropped Saturaday, picked up Sunday level Monday and crap since then. Welcome to the Adult Net. |

 you guys need to relaxe if you try analyze your stats from day to day you are going to go insaine. No one can have their stats go up everyday. it's impossible. some days will be more some will be less, it;s a fact. blamming it on the economy, the weather, the day of the year, the holiday, etc... is an excuse. Don't feed yourself excuses it leads to lack of productivity. The fact is that there is just as many people having a good week at any given time as their are people having a bad week. If i had a  for all the times I try to educate people on this. You are 100% more in control of your stats then any tax day shit. If your off then you are off today. Instead of writing it off as tax day try to work harder, or really try to find the REAL problem if you are really down.

				 | My sales dropped the day the Pope died and except for sunday has never picked up.This is across all my major sponsors. traffic has stayed the same all up. Either people aren't buying or epoch is scrubbing pretty hard for some reason is my guess. |

 These aren't your 3 year old kids you are talking too but experienced webmasters who are well aware of the normal fluctuations of daily sales. Get off your soap box and talk at the same level if you want to be heard.  | |

 There are no "normal fluctuations" in sales because of bullshit like taxes. Doesn't matter how i talk to people, some people don't want to listen regardless. Quote:

 I do mainly mainstream and I can tell you sales fall for most things at this time of the year every year. But I also do enough adult to know that adult sales are also affected by outside influences. 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.

 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.

				 | interesting thread will: shut up already.. you posted your opinion once so no need to say the same thing over and over again. You don't think it has anything to do with tax time... fine. I just know I am doing X amount of sales a day... been doing that for months when all of the sudden two days in a row I am down 20, 30 even 40% I know something is wrong. easy as that |

				 | If you cannot see a trend then you have wasted 6yrs of your life. I also never said it was because of tax day.Though tax time of the year is definetly a possibility |
