    Nope, 6 sales. 5 AVS and 1 pay. Plus the most downloads
    of HistoryKill in a single day.

    Not seeing this "summer" slowdown, when is it supposed
    to get here?

    This AVS pays my mortgage!

          No change, completely average day.

          Traffic a little lower than usual, but conversions strong.

            I guess it depends on how you get traffic. Mine come primarily from double optin email traffic and traffic is fine but signups are way lower than normal.

                well, search engine traffic was/is low, thus - fewer sign ups

                    simple explanation: when people realised they've just signed up for spam-o-rama rather than free passwords and movies, they just block your email address.

                            Yesterday wasn't bad, a little below average maybe, but this morning has been very slow.

                            Not that I'm surprised. Last thanksgiving weekend my sales plummeted from a 7-10 daily average to 1 sale in 3 days, then came back to normal overnight. Traffic stayed about the same.

                              Just shows that there really isn't an "across the board" trend in traffic or sales. Wednesday was the best day I have had in 2 years...today looks like it will come in as the second best...yesterday was as good as any other day.

                              For every person that can point to sales slowdowns, there's going to be another that can say the opposite.

                                I'm doing 1 in 35 over the last 3 months. Yeah not the
                                1 in 15. HistoryKill seems to have been too late in the
                                game. Sure it's cheaper than InternetEraser, but
                                everyone already has something like it.

                                I sell it as a popup killer, nobody believes that line
                                about protecting your job.

                                      PissOff:

                                      I fully agree with this. We would have someone start a "dip in sales" topic once a week on a board I used to frequent. Every webmaster who had sales slightly lower than the day before would respond and a "slowdown" would be proclaimed. It never seemed to occour to anyone that probably 99% of webmasters had slightly different results than the previous day, and that 50% of those were probably dips.

                                      That said, I do think a "summer slowdown" of 10-15% is a reality, and that major holidays tend to produce slightly lower sales and traffic. The reason some people don't see the summer slowdown is because their growth makes up for or exceeds whatever drop occours.

                                        same here, traffic down, but quite a few sales actually.

                                        You have to play on the fact that guys home alone looking for porn on Holidays, WILL pay for it.

                                          i saw an increase in signups but decrease in traffic on my mainly mainstream site (which links to ifriends)

                                          this week's been my best week yet, and i still have till EOD tomorrow to make it even better!

                                                    Traffic patterns, and ups and downs at certain times of the year are real, but if your growth outpaces the decline in traffic, then you might not be effected. There are also a certain number of sites that may not feel it for some or no reason. That doesn't change the fact that the patterns are real.

                                                    Some of you would probably claim that retail sales don't go up at Christmas if your little store happen to get less sales for whatever reason.

                                                    There are undeniable trends in internet traffic, and they exist whether a few specific sites see them or not. Denying traffic trends is a hobby of some adult webmasters, though.

                                                      I agree with you. And those newbies which are in the business or claim to be in this business for less than a year should go fuck themselves as they don't have any rights to talk about this topic.

                                                        Hell, yeah.

                                                        Things are better today, though.
