And there it is...the whole "summer slowdown doesn't exist" argument in one small statement.

People love to take their experiences and apply them across the board..."I'm seeing sales, so therefore summer slowdown must not exist."

Well I'm here to tell you that it is experienced by every type of business / industry I've been involved in since I can remember.

People in mainstream net projects experience it, brick and mortar businesses experience it, hell even when I was in the film industry most companies I dealt with experienced it.

Hey question, do alcohol and cigarette sales go up and down at any time through out the year ? What about gambling ?

now, what if casinos advertised less in the summer, stores that sold beer and cigs only opened 5 hours a day oppossed to 10 hours a day, do you think their sales would drop ?

thank you, no reply needed. case close.

There is a difference. Sure there are people addicted to porn / sex, but no where near the numbers of smokers, drinkers, and compulsive gamblers.

what constitues an "addiction" ? looking at porn more then 1 time a week and jerking off to it. I bet more people do that then smoke and drink combined.

point being, people don't stop looking at porn and jerking off just because it is the summer time. people don't stop looking at porn and jerking off because gas prices went up, because of the war in Iraq, because it is tax day or whatever the "other" reasons are that might affect mainstream america.

you compared porn to B&M stores etc... Will people buy less flat screen TVs or new cars because the economy is bad? sure. Do sales go up before christmas for department stores, definetly. Will people jerk off and look at porn less because it is christmas or because the economy is bad... nope if anything they might jerk off more . Nor will they drink less or smoke less because of those factors.

"slow downs" exist because the people advertising the product slow down, they create their own slow down.

eroswebmaster · 07-07-2007, 12:10 PM

will there is a difference between alcohol, gambling, smoking and porn.

Porn is a "crime" of opportunity. You need a number of factors to come together to enjoy porn and whack off...that includes time, location, and whether or not you are alone or not.

However you can smoke just about anywhere, drink in a lot of places, and if you're a gambler that's pretty much available anywhere now days.

During the summer time things occur that affect your ability to just sit at home and whack all day long.

It's warm out for one, so you're out enjoying the summer rather than sitting in front of the computer avoiding the winter cold.

Kids are home all day long. College kids who make up a good part of the customer base are at home too, and maybe not spending as much on porn.

Now look at smoking...it's summer time you're at the beach...you can smoke there...you can smoke in a park...you can smoke while out on your boat fishing...you can smoke at the amusement park you're at...etc...etc...etc.

You can replace a lot of that with drinking too. At the beach? Crack open a beer. Fishing? Same thing. At the park? Once again pass me a beer.

Now let's see some guy who's addicted to porn enjoy these same summer activities in the same manner as the smokers, and drinkers.

Now let's look at gambling. 20+ years ago, there were very few places you could gamble at legally. Everyone went to either Vegas or AC, now days, no matter where you live you are just a drive away from gambling.

If they don't have table games, then you usually are still just minutes away from gambling. Head down to your local liquor store, pick up some beer, cigarettes and a lottery ticket.

Huge difference between all that and online porn.
Here's some advice from officeonweb.com:

Quote:

In general, if your site is new and web marketing is in progress, your traffic, sites, and visits should be constantly increasing. The actual behavior is strongly dependent on your advertising and marketing efforts. If your web site is established, the traffic will generally increase during the fall and spring, decline in summer, and depending on the type of site, increase or decrease during holidays.

Now of course this is all dependent upon the products you sell. If you sell swimsuits, you will see an increase in summer. If you sell fishing lures, same thing.

And btw I did not compare porn to B&M, what I said was that many industries outside of porn experience a summer slow down, so taking that into account why is it not possible that porn does?

My dad's business which was floor covering, experienced a Winter slow down...because houses were built in warmer months, people spend money on Holidays instead of house renovations etc.

But to get back online, mainstream, I've seen summer slow downs since '98 when I was running my ebay business.

My best period for sales wasn't even during the Holidays. It started about 3 weeks after Christmas, and went on until right around the end of May...why? Because people were stuck in front of their computers during the cold winter months.

Anyway, I said I was going swimming.

damn you really buying into that crap hook line and sinker.

let me ask you this, do you believe in other slow downs or just the summer slow downs ?

next question, if everything you said above is true then why does the slow down not affect all webmasters. Look at how many people in this thread alone say they are doing the same or better then normal. how can this be, how can it be possible that there is a slow down but it only selectively affects certain people and not everyone ?

Waiting for your replies back to these questions then I will debunk your book above.

ry0t · 07-07-2007, 02:36 PM

The small TGP's, movie posts, free sites do not update their sites as frequently as they would in the winter because they are trying to have "summer fun". Of course this means that the webmaster can't get listed at a variety of sources like they normally would. This changes their SEO rank too. Everything makes a difference with everything else in this business. Your listings on TGP's happen to change your position on the search engine pages. I am feeling a thirty percent slowdown.

So people are out 24/7 during the summer, they never come inside? Sure people might go lay by the pool in the afternoon instead of bing inside if it was 40 degrees out, but what about night time? The other thing to this is the flip side, I hear a lot of people say it is soo hot out they don't want to go out they want to stay in the A/C.

DO you think people take off of work for the entire summer to stay home with the kids ? think about, where are most people during the week AT WORK. It doesn;t matter if it is summer or not. Who is affected by the kids being home, THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT HOME. How many webmasters work from home ? thanks for proving my point.

First of all, not all college kids go "home" for the summer. The ones that do go home, wtf ? they go right back to their old room, you know the place they locked their door and looked at porn 24/7 when they were in highschool. Sorry don't follow the logic here.

Now let's see some guy who's addicted to porn enjoy these same summer activities in the same manner as the smokers, and drinkers.....

and when he gets home jerks off. so what the guy get house the house more. I bet you anything if you jerks off on average 1 time a day, he will maintain his average. Just because he goes to the beach fishing or whatever, when he gets home the first thing he is going to do is go log on the net to look at porn. Let's take smoking for example. The people who can't smoke at work, do they smoke less. No they smoke more on the way to work, they take a smoke break and inhale 3 cigs, they smoke on the way home, and they smoke more at home. At the end of the day the person who started a new job, that didn't allow him to smoke doesn't smoke less, he just packs in as much as he can when he can. Same thing applies with porn.

Nothing is more convenient then getting on your pc and looking at porn. The computer is right there, you are connected to the net, and it is open for business 24 hours a day.

Why don't you go dig up some stats on ONLINE gambling. I bet you that doesn't see a drop off in the summer because the kids are home or because more people are outside.

It?s summer now and for many industries, that means a slowdown. People are spending their money on vacations and outdoor entertainment, reducing the amount they spend on other market segments. Compounding the issue for the online community is that many people are outside enjoying the sun and are spending fewer hours on the web. That makes the web a less popular place to advertise. The end result? Less revenue for your site.

You are quite correct about the summer. The traffic is usually a lot lighter because many customers are out of town during the weekends and families are on vacation. A significant amount of agents do not even attempt open houses because they feel the clientele they will attract will not be as motivated or the small amount of people that do come does not justify the time and cost of an open house.

Anyone seeing signs of the summer slow down? This time of year usually results in lower revenue both from less users and fewer advertisers (possibly, they certainly crank up the spending as Christmas approaches.)

It can be a little demotivating to see numbers on established sites drop. I think its a good time to build and test sites to launch when things begin to pick back up again near September.

Will, are you really that clueless? There are many industries that sales go up and down depending on the time of the year.

For example ask most any Hotel owner in Orlando, FL.
or for that matter any theme park here such as Disney World or Sea World. VERY SEASONAL!

Furthermore, I am one of the largest exporters of cut floral greens (mainly Salal) into the European market. Mainly into the Nederlands and Deutchland markets which are the two largest and supply most of Europe.

During the Summer months when the weather is warm and people are taking advantage of being outside, the flower & cut greens market drops in half. Normally people are stuck inside and in their culture company always brings over some fresh cut flowers & greens when they visit friends and whatnot.

This can all be verified 100% in black and white, so if you wish to put your money where your mouth is just say the word.

I'd be glad to take your money.

latinasojourn · 07-08-2007, 12:19 PM

the folks that hustle affiliate programs are not sources of accurate info re: seasonal changes in conversions.

but they do exist, and they exist because of many of the factors discussed in this thread.

if you want the straight scoop on seasonal variability you need to talk to major e-commerce billing companies that handle predominately jackoff type porn.

(ccbill, etc)

and, to get accurate data this would have to be based on total dollar gross/# of accounts.

and i suspect they won't tell you.

there is a seasonal slowdown for whack type porn.

june is slowest month on average, july almost as bad, and things begin to improve about 10 days after college kids go back to school and get settled into their routine.

don't worry too much about it.

You know I wasn't saying that and i made it very clear in my posts I was just talking about porn online. I am very aware of how MANY industries are affected by things like the time of the year, the economy, etc.. BUT PORN ONLINE is NOT one of them. I hope this was clear so you don't try to twist it around anymore.

BTW, realestate actually picks up during the summer and that is the best time of the year for home sales. Reason being kids are out of school and parents can move and don't have to have thm switch schools in the middle of a school year.

The problem is you, and many other like you take all of these mainstream factors, which are true and for one reason or another believe this applies to online porn as well.

So instead of continuing to insult me or just make comments that I think I know it all, why don't you tell us how the kids being out of school makes us all make less sales? Simple question, you made the statement so there must be reasons why you feel this way ???? please explain.

Furthermore, I am one of the largest exporters of cut floral greens (mainly Salal) into the European market. Mainly into the Nederlands and Deutchland markets which are the two largest and supply most of Europe.

During the Summer months when the weather is warm and people are taking advantage of being outside, the flower & cut greens market drops in half. Normally people are stuck inside and in their culture company always brings over some fresh cut flowers & greens when they visit friends and whatnot.

This can all be verified 100% in black and white, so if you wish to put your money where your mouth is just say the word.

I'd be glad to take your money.

I dont know why i fucking post sometimes on here. Where in the hell did I say I don't think other industries go up and down in sales depending on the time of the year. No shit, you mean snowballs stands sell less during the winter, wow this is new to me

I was pointing out that some industries like gambling, drinking, smoking, etc... DO NOT. i was talking about afew show me where I was saying this is the case for all of them ???????????????????

amazing you can't read and you calling me dense.

Why are you posting this ?

Where in this thread did you get the impression that people thought there was no such thing as a slow down ? Please quote the person who said that or point to the thread because I missed it.

I think everyone agrees with you on these points. kind of hard for the skii resorts to do well in the summer when there is no snow

if you want the straight scoop on seasonal variability you need to talk to major e-commerce billing companies that handle predominately jackoff type porn.

(ccbill, etc)

and, to get accurate data this would have to be based on total dollar gross/# of accounts.

and i suspect they won't tell you.

there is a seasonal slowdown for whack type porn.

june is slowest month on average, july almost as bad, and things begin to improve about 10 days after college kids go back to school and get settled into their routine.

don't worry too much about it.

think about it. Who controls the majority of the traffic ? Site owners and affiliates, if they work less there is less sales. Why would this not be noticed on a large processor level. If 80% of webmasters work a little less during the summer you think they going to make the same amount of sales..

OK, Sorry, that's the impression I got from you.

But in regards to your examples, (Beer & Casinos)

Beer sales are much higher during the summer months. That's a fact!

AND

Casinos have busy seasons and a slow seasons. Another factoid.

So how much you willing to bet?

no need to bet, just post some statistics, i would be surprised if there is more then a 5 - 10% swing in sales at any point through out the year for either of those industries.

If it is a factoid then no need for us to take your word for it, post your toids.

How about online gambling?

ry0t So Fucking Banned Industry Role: Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Boston Posts: 4,160	The small TGP's, movie posts, free sites do not update their sites as frequently as they would in the winter because they are trying to have "summer fun". Of course this means that the webmaster can't get listed at a variety of sources like they normally would. This changes their SEO rank too. Everything makes a difference with everything else in this business. Your listings on TGP's happen to change your position on the search engine pages. I am feeling a thirty percent slowdown.
