Anyone Experiences Traffic Drop A Bit During Summer?

    Summer is holiday so I guess some people use internet not as often as usual. Do you experience 10-20% traffic drop during summer or not?

    My blog networks focus on education so that's expected. FWIW, many adult sites notice a 'summer slowdown' as well.

    Completely normal - traffic drops on holidays and during vacation time.

    It all depends on your niche. I have many sites that do great during the week and then drop off on the weekends, while others are consistent and others do the opposite.

    Hello.

    I am yet to see a drop in traffic on our website. I'm sure it will be expected between July - August. It should pick up again in September though.

    Regards.

    Yes, traffic is down to all of my sites since schools let out for summer. People are doing stuff besides sitting behind a computer. Its time to get outside, go to the beach, go swimming, go fishing, have some bar-b-qs and have some fun.

    I agree with all the above posters, but I bet if your niche pertained to angry teenagers, you'd see a huge increase. They're out for summer and planted firmly in front of their computers. =D

    I think it depends on your audience, but you are bound to see fluctuations around holidays and high-vacation periods.
