Point being we have yet to hit the lowest point of the year.

February is traditionally the strongest month of the year, it didnt feel that strong this year.

Ummm, people are actually out of the house 1000 times more in the summer.
Its not really brain science

mikesinner · 07-10-2009, 03:11 PM

It's actually not the worst time for sales. That's a myth

Summer is not the best time for sales

fallenmuffin · 07-10-2009, 03:22 PM

Summer, 3rd quarter 2008, was amazing for me. Most I've made in a long time. Though a lot of sponsors had insane PPS promos around this time last year.

This year is much slower but I'm about even with last year. 3Q is starting out about even but I fear Aug and Sep will not match last years income. We will see..

However, to answer your question its because people are out and about. Family, travelling. They aren't stuck in the house like during Winter.

Horny Joe · 07-10-2009, 03:56 PM

With my limited traffic, this month can be my best ever if sales continues like this. July have been nice to me.

Dennis69 · 07-10-2009, 04:48 PM

Just one reason : With summer you can go to the beach or down the street and look at skimpy clad girls everywhere!

Redmanthatcould · 07-10-2009, 05:07 PM

Because you aren't promoting Video Secrets, naturally. We are breaking old sales record left, right and center, so we must be doing something right. ;)

Right ... there's always a demand

Only thing i notice on localized sites ... e.g. i have some sites specialized on the german market ... when i see the weather report and it's going to be good weather the next day it's usually a slow day, but e.g. last 2 days the weather was terrible over here and i had great sales from these sites - but even on good weather days there's a lot of sales going in the evening/night, it's just slow from morning to afternoon/early evening. On week/month averages there's nothing like a "summer slowdown"

mrwilson · 07-11-2009, 04:37 AM

Its not for me, not really, i am doing quite well.

I am also making alot of sales off of 2 blogs i sold last year lol.

nickutis · 07-11-2009, 04:41 AM

Summer slowdown is a myth. I can prove it with stats. Summer months doesn't reflect in clicks, in ratios or in $$

What causes worse ratios, and income - it's ressesion, tubes, and processors scrubing cards (declining working ones)

Jack Sparrow · 07-11-2009, 04:41 AM

When they have been in the sun all day, looking at bikini and topless chicks. They wanna go home and jerkoff. Thats my opinion on it all.
Oh and please, with tubes you mean illegal ones right...

of course illegal ones with full movies.

I see nothing wrong with those legal shitty quality preview video clip tubes, they are not killing surfer, they are making him hornier to see a better quality and longer clips

seeandsee · 07-11-2009, 05:36 AM

it's something called, will spent money on some other stuff :D like beer :D

Nicky · 07-11-2009, 07:07 AM

I'm not seeing a slow down yet here, and I like it

Promote something new and fresh like Teen Model Cash

Ginn · 07-11-2009, 10:44 AM

Well, right now probably too much people are getting ready for vacations. I hope August will be better

Furious_Male · 07-11-2009, 10:52 AM

I used to think the summer slow down was a myth. As the years went on I don't feel that way anymore. I have seen the same slow down in summer for the past 10 years.

Now its important to note that I target US/Canada traffic so I feel that makes a big difference. Those running more globally might not feel it as much.

fuzebox · 07-11-2009, 10:58 AM

Probably because webmasters slack off during the summer

Miguel T · 07-11-2009, 11:26 AM
