December 1st and 2nd - huge traffic drop from the US

Discussion in 'Google' started by BloggingMaster, Dec 2, 2007.

    Only for those that get at least 50% of its traffic from the US. Have anyone of you noticed an insane traffic drop ?, again, only for those getting referrals mainly from the US.

    What is going on here?, Is this due to the holyday season, massive offline shopping maybe?

    If you´re wondering if I get banned from google, NO, my SERPS remain the same.

    Traffic is never the same, it will change and evolve over time. You must be new to the webmaster game if your worrying over 2 days, don't sweat it. Saturdays tend to be low traffic days because US people go out and such, I always notice Friday\Saturday\Sunday are low US traffic days.

    Not if you run a site that most teens have time to visit on the weekends.

    One site of mine always gets the highest traffic on Mondays and Tuesdays, especially during business hours. OK, someone should apply for a grant to do a productivity survey - should be an easy one :D

    For social networking and sites targeting kids it is a different story I suppose.

    Yup, I'm seeing a decrease in traffic as well, but all weekends are bad for me.

    No, I have not noticed this, and one of my Websites actually does rank pretty high and receives a large majority of SE traffic from U.S. visitors. But as Computerized said, most weekends are down anyway.

    No... The majority of my traffic is from the US, and my traffic has stayed about the same as it has been lately. And I say about because traffic is, of course, never exactly the same. :)
