Summer really affects my earning, how does it affect yours?

I really hate summer. In the last two weeks, my traffic from search engine has dropped around 20% and my earning in the last one week has been heavily dropping. Usually I can earn as high as $1,200-$1,500 or more in profits every week but in the last one week my total earning was only $500

. I thought it has something to do with summer, I don't know. I just don't know because this is happening way too quickly (in the previous weeks everything was still OK)...what can you suggest me? Is summer always has big impact on some niches?
 


yeah my fuckin sales are down in the last week or so to and no change in traffic...peepz just aint buying but i think theres a lotta other factors involved to not just summer.

every cunt is broke lol!

anyone else or is it just us?
 
I'm pretty sure retail takes a big hit in the summer. I know someone who sells clothing (not via AM) and her sales have tanked while people have been on vacation.

yeah but traffic is still the same.

it fuckin sucks when ya payin fo PPC and gettin mediocre results!

same traffic...

same sales pages...

less conversions...:error:
 
always a slowdown online in summer....especially late july / early august...there are some exceptions of course but overall its definatly a slower time
 
ok so it's not only me...i have begun affiliate marketing seriously only since early this year so I don't know for how long sales would dry up. So it'll be only late july/early august or usually it'll continue until early September, or how long? I would try my best to get involved in other niches as atm i'm only focused my attention on health & weight loss niches.
 
I'm working on some campaigns that go hand in hand with the travel business. I had a boom last month and it seems that I'm getting there this month too.16k+.
It's all about what you're selling.

And now for my completely unqualified advice:

Test out new campaigns/landing pages. Maybe your current ones are stale. Focus only on keywords that are getting those sales. If you don't know which ones those are, find out. Same stuff I've heard over and over -- test test test.
 
what gets me is that its the same level of traffic and less conversions!

why the FUCK are these douchebags searching for shit and wasting my clicks if they arnt gonna buy?

id rather them being out surfin the beach in summer and not surfin my clicks <==lol

This is my first summer in AM, but July is shaping up pretty nice. My ebay site has doubled it's revenue while maintaining the same PPC cost. And I finally found a profitable facebook campaign so it's kind of nice. Hopefully August will continue this way.
 
My income spiked Jan - May, and I have been having trouble holding the line this July...

...but I put it down to the weather in this way... My income in Jan - May allowed me to get a pool, so I keep spending time in it instead of working.

Bad. Bad. Bad.
 
Yeah summer is a drain in every industry from retail to the financial markets, so it shouldn't be a surprise there's a slow down in online sales. Don't worry as in all markets after labor day to christmas it'll more than make up for it.
 
8 years of slow summers under my belt. I am sure there are execptions but I have seen it every summer I have been in the game. And the economy and gas prices are just compounding the issue.
