Following on from the which day of the week has more sales ...

For those that track sales on a daily basis, is there any pattern on DL at particular times of the month.

I dont track this (I only track monthly) but it seems as if things are slow at the start and then pick up toward the end. However, this could just be due to the irratic nature of some of the small sites which boost sales at irregular intervals.

hmm good question. Maybe I'll have to make ANOTHER page on the spreadsheet for time of the month downloads

allright, i just made a graph of all the days for this year up til the end of july.

It looks pretty even actually however peaks at 7, 14, 21, and 27 for some reason... maybe they have had the least weekends or holidays.

Since they are all mulitiples of 7, it is probably just fewer weekends. Which means that DL are consistant througout the month.

This makes sense.

Just though I would ask as you always see posts on forums about 10 days into the month were people say this is the worst moth ever, then come back later saying it ahs improved.

I must admit looking back at month of July at SS a lot of folks took advantage of the independence day weekend and sales sucked and then a few subscriptions must have been coming to a close because the last week of July was pretty good and the Monday 24th and 31st were the two best days of the whole month (I thought Mondays were bad?)
