Affiliate Sales WAY Down

[tshirtdeal]

My affiliate sales are way down, traffic and serps all on par but a 60% drop over the last two months in revenue,

I have looked into everything and nothing seems wrong, Jan and Feb are always this bad but everything recovers in March and April, nothing has recovered these two months and March and April are just as bad as Jan and Feb with no end in sight...

Is everyone down the last two months? Is it just the economy?

I need something to make sense here...

TIA

I'd guess that it's partly the economy, partly spring break time etc. BTW I do see a lot more CC declines these days then in years past, so the economy is definitely playing it's part in slowing down sales.

I have not seen a similar decline--though the only program I earn anything significant from is Amazon's.

Yeah I mean I am way down and cannot figure it out, affiliate program says overall sales are fine... I mean I am in the entertainment so clearly that is one of the first things to get cut in a bad economy but then why are sales fin overall with the program?

I'm seeing retail go down. Personals are holding steady and no noticable increase in chargebacks/declined credit cards.
