Has your sales declined because of Black Friday?

    I have some sites with Amazon products and sales has REALLY nosedived. The clicks are up over 100% but sales have declined by 50% from normal. Anybody else experiencing this? I'm hoping it's because everybody's waiting until Black Friday to buy and sales will pick up when it's over.

    I don't think so. Buying of customer depends on many different factors, it is also a small number. You can review

    the economy is in the crapper maybe? People are not buying like they used too, so you
    have to work harder then ever before to get people to buy...this is why it is so hard
    to get affiliate stuff going these days...its much harder today to cash in then it was a few years ago.

    Yeah I know, even ABC news just said on TV today that sales was expected to be slow. But I'm talking about just within the past few months, my clicks skyrocketed while the amount of sales went South.

    Thanks

    I dont think it has anything to do with black friday, maybe you are not generating the traffic that you used too.

    As far as adsense clicks go, it has increased.

    Ive actually made some money. I talk about what products might sell out after black friday on my blog and I have gotten some decent sales. I actually like black friday and it helps drive traffic to my blog.

    I noticed that sales were down for a few days this week without any real reason. I could jump to assumptions, but I really don't know why. Maybe people are saving up for black friday. Who knows. Just keep marketing and you'll bounce back.
