    For some odd reason I don't seem to be getting as much traffic as I was a a few weeks ago. I'm getting less Adsense clicks and my daily traffic volume is slowly go down. Is this because of the holidays?

    It might be. Weekends and holidays are known as "bad days" for advertisers.

    Probably.

    I know a few people who wait until this time of the year to take vacations because this time of the year is relatively quiet at their websites.

    My forum has definately slowed down during the holiday weekend. In fact, I have hardly been online myself. Hopefully, things will pick up for you again soon.

    Could definitely be a reason. Certain niches tend to lose traffic during holidays and weekends.

    It depends on the kind of website you have. The holiday season might be a reason for the slowdown.

    Everything seriously started to pick up a few weeks ago and then everything all of a sudden just slowed down.
