What traffic do you get on 25th December?

My first site went live (accidentally - which shows how green I am) in February 2007. I'm wondering, what sort of traffic it will get on 25th December. What traffic do you achieve on this day and other public holidays? I seem to do well on other public bank holidays.

 

Typically Christmas seems to be very quite for me, with pretty much every website I've developed slowing down from around the 23rd to 26th of December. It does however, depend largely on the your niche. Other public holidays aren't too bad for me, with Christmas bringing on the slowest period of the year.

 

I dropped about 20% on the 25th and 26th December last year.

 

I think everyone will drop on christmas day, think about it, the amount of people on the internet on that day must be so low!
I would love to see the statistics for that day alone compared to a normal weekday.

Will.

 

Do our statistics measure sadness in the world?! As mine is a comedy site developed to combat sadness and boredom I think this is an important issue - any feedback is very interesting. How many people are bored on 25th December? Its difficult to say what proportion of my visitors are Christian or how many practice the Christmas Day activities (ie feasting and watching television with family) traditionally. Google are unable to analyse this for me, but I suspect most are the aforementioned category. I wonder if anyone will get 0 visitors that day. How would you suggest I target non-Christian demographics?

 

Based on last years experience, I'd say my traffic will drop 50-60% come Christmas day.

 

get something about christmas on your blog -- you might get a truckload of people come to your blog on christmas eve!

 

Xmas is dead, but the traffic drop is over a couple months.

Example:



This is the time of year we spend upgrading, and talking it up in the office.. Waiting for everyone to get xmas and their hangover done with. ;p

 

It is typically low from my experience.

 

I'm touting Christmas gifts for spoilt children and having measured success. Perhaps I'll get more last minute buyers.

 

Traffic normally goes down for me during weekends and public holidays. I expect a low traffic on 25th of Dec though with so many people will be going offline.

 

I had less traffic but what came seemed to stay and browse pages. Things seem to have gone back to normal since yesterday (Monday 7th January)

 

not much !
