I am presuming I know the answer to this question, but really just want clarification.
My traffic, although not high by any means, has dropped significantly over the last week. I presume it is due to Christmas closing in on us rapidly, but wondered if others were suffering the same problem, or if it was just me.
Thoughts and suggestions on this please.
If it helps, you could get on the Christmas specific hub bandwagon.
Like I noticed you have quite a few toys for kids, how about a hub with something like 'christmas gift guide for kids', or 'birthday gift guide for kids' (which is not just seasonal) then you link in some of your other hubs? 'Activities for kids during the holidays' is another good hub subject for this time of the year.
May be late for this year, but something to keep people clicking in all the time.
Just an idea
Great, thanks for the ideas izooom. I have made myself a goal for this next year which is to do more hubs than this year, so maybe I could aim at the gift market (would help my adsense as well).
Thanks again and Merry Christmas
Yes Christmas. less people reading blogs etc on the net...
Thanks for that Barry, I thought that was the case but just wanted to double check. Merry Christmas
Yes, over the last few days my traffic has dropped quite significantly. It'll pick up again once the Christmas period and holiday season is over!
I need to think about more topics to replace the traffic that's been going to my Christmas hubs! Maybe the finance contest will do that.
Good luck on the contest. Not sure if I will bother as finance is not really my thing, but like you I need to think of some topics for the New Year.
Oh yeah! you are right I also just noticed that my traffic was declining from last few days
I hope it gets all well after the holidays
As there are obviously a few of us with the same problem it looks like it is just the Christmas period affecting things, so am sure it will improve in the New Year.
I think most of us are seeing that. Yesterday was the slowest day for me since the beginning of October - I can't imagine what today and especially tomorrow (20 views?) will bring!
Yes it is
Holidays does hurt traffic.
But try to get traffic s0urces which are m0re permanent.
My traffic has remained steady, but that is due to a popular seasonal hub I have. I will see the drop next week.
Ha! ha! Even advertisers are going on holidays, and we may not earn much per click.
it seems this is problem we all have... I hope it want last for long
There may be a short lag while people eat, entertain guests and open presents, but what about all of the new iPads and computers people get for Christmas? The kids and college students are all out of school. They'll be on the internet in no time.
And with Christmas money from Grandma to spend!
At least we can hope.
My traffic is falling down, now it's only 1/3. I assume this is normal, I'll wait until first week of January.
