I was astonished to read that today, Friday November 16th, was the start of the Thanksgivings Day holiday travel season. Yes, some people are taking today off through the entire next week. This morning, traffic over the bridge to San Francisco, ordinarily bumper to bumper for several miles, was relatively light.

I'm not seeing it reflected in my traffic stats for today, at least not yet, but will be interesting to see how the U.S. holiday affects AdSense earnings over the coming weekend and next week. Last year [webmasterworld.com] many people saw varying degrees of decline, even some whose traffic came primarily from outside the U.S.
