Since the world cup 2006, there is significant drop in my page views. I think it is also the summer impact contribute to this drop.

What do you guys experience?

Well, "2006 world cup" is the #1 search query on Google Zeitgeist (at Google Press Center). Maybe the traffic is going there...

My own site impressions follow a very similar curve.

This combined with 1/4 lower eCPM since the soccer WM started has a very strong effect on my earnings.

It's here in the German area not only the soccer WM.

Extrem cold weather in May until begin of June.

With the begin of the WM, also hot sunny weather.

From a May like a rainiy winter suddenly to summer weather.

This makes a combined effect.

Everything was going great until the WC I'm down about 30%. Father's day was also a drag.

I have -50% :(( my visitors are mainly europeans and I guess they never miss a match.

On Monday, I thought my stats recover.

But Germany had a play on Tuesday.
