Bank Holiday Internet Traffic

Posted by Paul B | August 28, 2007 .

If there’s one thing I hate more about a bank holiday weekend than being covered in cat crap, it’s the dip in internet traffic that always happens. The UK holds one of the largest internet user number groups and when a bank holiday comes around everybody flocks away from their computers leaving us money making machines with less traffic and less revenue. This weekend just passed was no different, I noticed a significant dip in UK visitor numbers starting on Friday and continuing all the way through to Monday.

I make just about enough money to not have to worry about looking at may day-to-day earnings, I don’t have to but I still do though and yesterday I was getting a little worried! There’s always the thought that maybe this dip is permanent and it won’t recover, to date it always has (touch wood). It was then that I decided to check another one of my sources of income, more out of desperation than anything, ClickBank. If you read my post about ClickBank you’ll know that I’m not a very good affiliate. In fact I’m rubbish. This is a valuable lesson in diversification though, because when I checked it this is what I saw:-

It’s amazing what a $133 ClickBank day will do to cheer you up! From a dismal weekend to an OK one all in one go, just because I don’t put all my eggs in one basket. Let this be a lesson to you, multiple sources of income is the key. Even better, multiple sites with multiple income streams. That’s how I conquered a bank holiday weekend disaster and you can too.

    Sheesh, seems like you had the best earnings (on the screenshot) on my Birthday…and where the hell is my gift? :P

    The traffic is always vanishing during the weekends not for you, but for everyone i believe (to me it happens). But we are lucky enough that as the week starts the traffic comes back and so do the sales. In certain markets tho, the sales increase during the weekend even tho the traffic crawls down slowly. After all, nothing to worry.

    Happy Birthday. That was a good day, when I get anywhere near $133 everyday from Clickbank I’m sure I’ll be able to stretch to a present for you! They are real figures by the way, if I was going to make it up I would have filled in a few of those $0 days :-)

    Nice point about weekend sales, maybe I need to find another niche to bolster my earnings over Saturday/Sunday.
