How's business?

How's business these days? My sales is pretty bad lately. Hits still ok, we hit a peak in early December and then nosedived. It went back up about 80% since January.

Just want to see the general atmosphere of ecom sites. Are you guys doing well? What industry are you in?

Sales have been slow in february, even with the newest google update putting us back on page one. But it was slow last feb, too, so maybe it's just an annual thing. We do consumer software.

My sales in Feb is even worse than January. I've heard January - March is the peak seasons for pharmaceutical sales but the lowest seasons for other consumer products.
Hopefully it will be better in March.

[percentages]

Traffic is up about 95% year on year (tad under 2 million to 4 million uniques per month).

Conversion rate is up about 90% year on year. Yes, there is a slight "slow down" in proportional conversion rate, but for me that is almost lost in increased traffic.

I'm content, some of the latest traffic is not 100% targeted due to bad Google results, and I don't expect that to convert as well as other engines.

Percentage, which industry are you in?

Sales have slowed down, traffic has been maintained.

It is traditionally slow throughout February in my sector.
