    Hi,
    Do you face any traffic increase or decrees during the holiday season ? I have notices some 20% traffic loss during this year season so was wondering if anyone else feel it or it is very much depends on your site content ofcourse. But mine is not related to Christmas or New Year :)

    Well mine too, but not sure if it s due to some google update or due to reason that people are looking for more "Christmas" type of things now.

    Holidays don't seem to effect traffic for me, but CPC seems to go up. Perhaps from the increased demand from more advertises competing for available ad space.

    Yes, December is our worst month for one business, but our other site takes up the slack as we have our annual site fund raiser for a community site in December.

    It seems that traffic dropped for a week now, but on all of my projects, so it means it is related to holidays :)

    It's normal for traffic to decrease during this holiday season. Noticed a drop in my sites' traffic too. I'm not worried though, cos my income comes from other sources that is not traffic dependent.:D

    Yeah, I usually see a decrease in traffic on most of my sites during the holidays; it's not something I really worry about too much.

    I guess people want to spend time with their families rather than read my blogs; shame on them!! :p

    I'm usually away from the computer more often during holidays as well, so I don't get too concerned with the small drop.

    Happy holidays!!!

    Jake

    For one of our websites, a B2B, the traffic drops significantly during the weekend and then spikes monday. Also as the year end approaches many companies are looking to finish off their budget so decembers is extremely busy.

    yes their is a rapid decrease of traffic in this month, I think might be it's due to holiday season. Don't worry it will get back to normal by next month

    Of course. Traffic always decreases during the holidays. Of course, for hosting it picks back up especially in January and February! :D
