anybody noticed this. This august, the number of orders with Paypal and even adsense earnings gone down!!! anybody experiencing this?
Personally i have seen little change. You are best however comparng results over a longer period of time, remember we are only 6 days into the month, so a lot could change. You should also bear in mind it's summer, and many people are on holiday etc so not at work/school/home, so you would expect some sort of trend reduction in earnings
I go through sperts. The last 7 days has been good for me, the 7 days before that were poor. Overall though, I consistently make about the same each month.
August is usually slower then most months considering it the the summer and people aren't on the computer as much.
Agree with theman. I have a P/L chart that I've used since 2005 that tracks my monthly profits. While the numbers are different (thankfully heading up every year) the trend is remarkably similar on a month by month basis. Typically, Jan to May tend to be good especially if you're selling digital information, the summer slips, Sept to Nov picks up a little and December is a write off as people prance about at office parties slurping on egg nog! It's an interesting point though - when do you start to worry about earnings going down? Three months in a row? After some industry changing event (google slap etc)?
okay.. thanks for mentioning this.. i have seen the same and here is what scares me. recently i was trying to add skype credit to my account (note that skype is the same company as paypal). okay, i have had funds in my paypal account but you know what? at the payment page, skype shows me that there is a problem with paypal and i should try later. funny thing is that i paid with the same credit card using the mastercard option in skype that is regd. in my PP account. I also had enough funds in PP to pay too. i mean how can you trust them to collect payments for our company when they can't event collect for their own.. P.S. it has now become okay again, but i had big problems with the signup on the 3,4,5th.
I would actually have to disagree. Adsense and other ad payment programs are all pretty stable from last month though my amazon referrals from a couple of my sites have actually skyrocketed. (no abrupt changes in traffic or changes in advertising either.. just more ordering.)
Guys. I am embaressed by your small time, Not That I have one..... A business plan should consider seasonal slowdowns. Incidentally a carnivore on the Serengetti usually takes down its competition on the dryest month.......
CARTOONS!!! Sum holidays!!!! Nobel prize in the post......................................................
Was ist SUX?Weight loss is not a field generally affected by seasonal disorders so your pie slice is smaller...........
August = Holidays = Less Advertisers Same thing every year, unless you have some sites about holidays, travel etc
