Web Traffic dips during Christmas and Newyear

Have you been paranoid about your recent fall in traffic? Have you checked your google listings, page rank, analytics, webmastertools for the same reason? Has your adsense earnings fallen to pennies?

If Yes, we recommend you to wait until the 2nd week on January. Your traffic should gradually come back to normalcy. According to web research, it is seen that the traffic to almost every site starts falling 1 week before the Christmas until 1 week after the new year as much as 30-50% with similar dip in advertisement earning. It is a "Holiday-effect" and according to our theory its time to take a short break from blogging and enjoy like everyone else.

Now you know where your visitors are?

Paradoxically, the sites like Amazon.com, Bestbuy.com, gift websites, travel websites have drastic boost in traffic. The reason is obvious.
