Is that when we can expect the official "summer slowdown" to begin?

Call it what you want, after years of hearing slow sales complaints at certain times and hours upon hours of reports and other research to identify the issue/cause, patterns emerge. You can also probably graph the # of low sales posts on GFY from 2001 and up and come up with a similar graph :)

On the flip side, there are also many times of the year where sales on many client sites flow like a waterfall and that is when many sales records are broken.

Cool, I was just curious because i've never really gone hard at it during the summer, so naturally my sales have been lower, but I plan to this summer and was just wonder if i'm going to be in for a disappointment come June.

I pay for a lot of my traffic, so while I expect my traffic to drop a little due to nicer weather, especially on weekends, I just hope my ratios remain close to the same. It just doesn't make sense to me why someone would surf for porn in the summer and still click on links, but buy less. It would make more sense if traffic slowed, which as a result, so did sales.
