Whats with the traffic?

Too hot to surf?

Since I dont have annual trends before me, the best I can do is ask you people if this is normal. Traffic is down despite updates, some juicy tid bits and stuff. Always worked before; but I am struggling to maintain levels now. So is this seasonal? My website is technology related; and March wasnt bad but April!?

I'm technology related as well. I find overall levels slump from April to September, where they starting going up again, peaking in December and January (for me).

It's spring break in the U.S. and the week prior to Easter.

Traffic patterns very by topic and audience, so it's hard to generalize. For my topic (European leisure travel), traffic jumps after the first of the year and remains strong until fall, when it goes into decline as most readers' thoughts turn from European travel to semi-tropical destinations or the holiday season. A site that sells merchandise, and especially gift items, might have the opposite pattern of growing traffic in the fall and declining traffic after New Year's.

In the context of this forum, I'd say that declining traffic is the least of anyone's worries. Declining EPC and total revenues, on the other hand, seem to be of widespread concern.

Yep, seeing it on my site too. As expected. Lead in to summer - witha bit less traffic than during the winter months.

My US Tax site is so hot, it's glowing red.
