Around noon yesterday, the conversion rate dropped off to NOTHING. I had I think ONE conversion between noon and midnight and 2 this morning.
Given the circumstances of my domain, this is impossible. I had the same amount of traffic, and the same percentage of people hitting my site on the same keywords. My logs indicate my site's been up and running all day just fine. Plenty of hits and the pageview to hit ratio was the same, so it wasn't like my site was bogging down. I think I've eliminated all the possible problems on MY end.
I figure either Google has a problem with their tracking software or Mozilla's having issues. Has anyone seen this or heard anything about it?
(Until the conversion rate comes back up, I've simply put a smaller referrel button up, and a big ad banner. I figure I'll make more money on the ad banner than I will on referrels, at that rate of "conversion.")

It is possible that there was a delay in tracking?
Mack.
Anyway, it turned out the problem was on google's end -- technical issues blocking downloads. So nobody was downloading anything. I lost a day's revenue, but oh well. I am NOT complaining.
It's not a browser-related site, oddly enough. My site's always been a fantasy/sf oriented site -- I just had the dumb luck to register a domain name in 1997 that people type in trying to find the Firefox browser. Years before Mozilla was founded.
(I could of course make it a computing site -- but I'm having a blast with the sf/fantasy stuff, I've been involved in fandom since I was a kid, the site's been fannish forever, and now I'm getting paid to play. And suddenly I've got the income stream to let me do my dream of a really big, really fan-oriented sf/fantasy e-zine.)
