    Has anybody else experienced a dip in traffic this weekend?

    I mean, seriously. Usually there's a small dip at the weekend for my blog (largely because it's the weekend), but this week I've dropped about 400 uniques per day (usually it's about 100) :S

    A few of my mates have had a loss of traffic of similar proportions. Are you too? Is it because of Harry Potter do you think?

    I highly doudt it's taking traffic away. Even if it taking traffic away, it would depend on your sites subject.

    Depends on the subject of your site and the demographics of your visitors

    Jesus, I was totally oblivious to Harry Potter coming out.

    And a few days back I was counting down towards it.

    Im going to go to Walmart tomorrow and grab a copy after the gym.

    maybe you should have blogged about the Harry Potter release. You might have gotten an increase...

    If my wife frequents your site, you lost her traffic for sure over the past few days. She has been nonstop reading that book.:)
