The Summer Slow Down - Myth or Fact? - GoFuckYourself.com

scottybuzz · 07-12-2006, 05:17 PM

I hear it alot as an exuse but is it really true? when around does it start? may?

when does it finished end of august?

how many signups do you get daily in peak winter compared to summer slowdown.

Big_Red · 07-12-2006, 05:25 PM

I beleive there is always going to be ups and downs. predict all you want. porn is porn, people will always want it. the world moves in cycles.

i am on an uptrend right now. hoping it holds.

MaddCaz · 07-12-2006, 05:58 PM

hmmm good question

Xplicit · 07-12-2006, 06:02 PM

It appears to be real, at least for me.

A couple weeks ago I was doing a lot better.

Phil · 07-12-2006, 06:04 PM

its a fact..

Kimo · 07-12-2006, 06:07 PM

june sucked for me, july is much better so far...

reynold · 07-12-2006, 06:26 PM

Myth--traffic can sometimes be unpredictable...

sweetgirl2006 · 07-12-2006, 06:40 PM

i think it's myth.

E$_manager · 07-12-2006, 07:19 PM

It started . When it ends - i don't know.

scottybuzz · 07-12-2006, 07:24 PM

bump for will76

arock10 · 07-12-2006, 07:47 PM

It's a fact, just like when the weekend slows down. People are out doing stuff in the summer, like trying to get laid instead of watching people get laid.

Pornwolf · 07-12-2006, 08:04 PM

It used to be a problem but now it's not really. Back a few years ago none of the college kids that had high speed access to porn at school had more than dial up at home. It made summer numbers shrink a good 15%. Now, broadband penetration is widespread at home so those kids get to continue spanking like they did at school. The drop may be around 5% now.

traffic usually drops off about 5-10% starting some time in may, at least that's what i seem to always see. Sales don't really drop off.

Doctor Dre · 07-12-2006, 09:02 PM

It probably was big back in the days. But internet is in every home now and the habbits have changed.

Drake · 07-12-2006, 09:30 PM

Fact, because people will spend more time outdoors doing things in good weather. But I suspect the "slowdown" isn't all that dramatic... just a little less on average than during other seaons.

Rob Nixon · 07-12-2006, 09:34 PM

Generally You can rule out Memorial Day to Labor Day - go on vacation or something - it's been quiet then since 1996 - always is...

AdPatron · 07-12-2006, 09:41 PM

If traffic is dropping, you're doing something wrong.

seanchai · 07-12-2006, 09:42 PM

Always been a slow down for us - we have growth every month and then level off for June-August and pick back up start Sept.

Kids home from school/college means Dad can't get on the machine and students don't have as much privacy.
Vacation time.
People spend more time outdoors instead of stuck indoors.
Girls are wearing summer dresses so more eye candy for free.

No big deal - keep the site quality up, keep the marketing machine working and it will pick back up at the end of summer.

butterflybucks · 07-12-2006, 10:31 PM

It is a real thing, however sales are showing an increase since May 1st.

czarina · 07-12-2006, 10:33 PM

It stopped being a myth only to become a reality show.

scottybuzz · 07-13-2006, 07:45 AM

hahahahaha will76, you make me dissapointed

Kenny B! · 07-13-2006, 08:36 AM

It happend to be a fact, luckily it hasn't hit us at all. But we're working that much harder for our taffic during the summer.

Bansheelinks · 07-13-2006, 08:40 AM

Its a fact, but work harder and minimize it......but this year June was especially hard to overcome due to the World Cup fever.

Well I knew you couldn't resist looking in

scottybuzz run a search (if its working) and you will see some pretty good debate on the topic with Will leading the charge against the summer slow down theory.

flashfreak · 07-13-2006, 09:13 AM

FACT

period

blazi · 07-13-2006, 09:18 AM

it is definitely true, same with satelite tv sales, it is all in the seasons! more people are outside and less people in in their homes buyin' porn during summer!

detoxed · 07-13-2006, 09:20 AM

It is a fact to some and a myth to others. Some people I have talked to swear by it but some say it never happens.

Tdog · 07-13-2006, 09:42 AM

I say its a myth, I have had winter slowdowns

CynthiaB · 07-13-2006, 11:05 AM

Even TV Ratings dropped to an all time low last week - so I guess it's true that people are out and about and not surfing the web or the TV channels.

Jakke PNG · 07-13-2006, 11:10 AM

Oooh, ooh.. I'll spam my own blog for my opinion. How cool am I? I'm one of the bigboys now, I have a blog!
