I think asking GFY if "sales have rebounded" just shows passive laziness. If your traffic or sales are down, figure out why and fix it.

Well, yes people making 100+ sales a day aren't going to be worrying so much about a slow down, unless they have a $5 million mortgage to pay or are buying all their traffic or such and have a low profit margin.
Several years ago I was having regular zero sale days, with quite an expensive rent to pay and fearing I'd be losing everything, so I've been rather scarred by that experience. It's not as if I'm on here 24 hours monitoring answers to my post instead of working hard to 'fix things'. I was really just curious to know if there were real signs that people are spending less due to the economy and the grim economic warnings. That's called forward planning for any business.
I assume there is indeed quite a marked summer slowdown, at least in the niches I promote, as nearly all the sponsor sites are having extended sales, far more than they every had previously. But I understand the reasons for it, and it's probably particular to my niche.
BTW, for the week after Christmas Day, I always average 3 to 4 times the average sales for the rest of the year.
