The vast majority of "i'm being shaved" in this industry has always been in the end, the admission that "i don't understand statistics, standard deviation and statistical norms"... and never take into account any other multitude of factors which impact sales negatively.

Logic dictates that it will make only 10% of the sales it was accustomed to in the first month.

Right?

This is what I originally said, just restated from another angle.

Right?

Now, you can throw in your 'variables' as to why it will earn less or more than 10% in the second month.

As long as the traffic from EACH individual source was throttled down to 10%, there shouldn't be any variables.

Right?

Of course not ..... because you want to pigeonhole a simple logical equation.
