    Usually i receive 500-600 uniques + $8/day.

    Yesterday and today i received, 300+ uniques and $1-$2 revenue.

    Everything looks ok so far. I expect 1400 unique visitors and so far only half the day has passed and already 800 visitors.

    Usually it takes about 15 out of every million visitors to rank above 200,000 on Alexa. A couple days ago I ranked that high with 8 per million.

    People typically browse the net at work. When it's a holiday there is no work so fewer people are on-line.

    You can offset this affect by catering your site more broadly. Some of my sites get hits from over 100 countries. Others get hits mostly from the US.

    Well, some sites might escape the the trend because they might cater to the shopping crowd. Anyway, things might get better from Tuesday or Wednesday. I know Tuesday is a holiday in the UK. I am not too sure about the US.

    That's perfectly normal, I only have 4 clicks today. The only different I noticed is that each click is worth more than usual. ;)

    Not everyone. Last 4 days have all been new highs for me, and today is on track too. These are all celeb sites, no shopping involved.

    Guess, I am just lucky.

    Yep, not everyone takes a hit. In fact, Christmas related sites get traffic and clicks multiple times over. Have a site for every season that way you will average out and overall income remains stable.

    Not unusual can be 30-60% on conversions depending on type of site. I am talking my own stats.

    Same here, been setting higher and higher records for the last several days. Yesterday was the best so far, today is looking good.

    People have lives and aren't on the computer 24/7. Try it.

    I wonder if any publishers which focus on non-christian countries see a similar trend?
