    I had quite a big drop yesterday too - I hadn't thought that it could be down to Halloween... suppose it could be that. :)

    Mine's basically the same. But Christmas is coming soon and traffic will drop as the season nears.

    I didn't take any losses in traffic throughout October so I don't think Halloween has much to do with anything. However, I suppose it could be dependent on your niche?

    I'm sure if you had a candy website or a costume website your traffic would have spiked. 8D

    Depends what your business is. I doubt any fireworks salesmen or pumpkin farmers are complaining :D
