Title: Slooooow Monday
Post by: tdoes on April 09, 2007, 13:59

We'll this has officially been a slow Monday for me at all the sites I submit to!  :(

Has it been like this for anyone else?   Not trying to have a "pity party" but wonder if it  could be mainly due to the Easter holiday.

Not me - 3 downloads today so far.

Though my portfolio tends to go opposite of everyone else's.  Not sure why.  I think it's Easter Monday in some countries.

It has been better than weekends, but slower than the usual weekday. But things are picking up now (3:20pm est) so it might catch up.

Yeah, Easter.  Remember that in the UK, most of Europe and in Australia, the Easter weekend involves public holidays on the Friday and Monday.  Many workers take either the week before or the week after off so they can get an extended holiday for just four days work vacation time.  So last week was a slow down and this week is likely to be slow too.

It's a holiday here in Canada as well.
Unfortunate Americans have much fewer public holidays.

We have a lot of public holidays, but only the postal service gets them off.  ??? >:(

You've had quite the winter out there, haven't you?

I averaged 60 DLs per day for the Friday to Monday holiday - a little bit better than a normal weekend. It's going to be difficult to hit this month's target - I hadn't figured in the extra-long sales drop. I won't make that mistake again ...
