Do sales drop? yes. Do sales drop for my clients? No. That's what I was saying
Do you need me to connect any dots for you? Maybe I need to since you feel my posts are out of touch - perhaps they are just going over your head.

I am not interested in getting into a pissing match with someone who has twice the experience I have yet still somehow manages to offer simple generic advice I can find on any forum, chat room or AI generator. You say your clients do not see sales drops in January yet do not mention who your clients are (see what I mean by generic?) so who knows if they even operate paysites, are into cams, do EPC or PPC ad buys, etc etc. So is your perspective helpful
on this topic - sales drop in January - I say no when all you offer is "Sales don't drop for my clients". Ok woohoo for you and your clients. LOL
Or was the above over your head? Don't insult me as I did not insult you, just your generalized unhelpful (to me) posts on this topic.

You mentioned relying on your own 15+ years of experience in sales and statistics. However, this approach has a flaw. Despite accumulating over a decade and a half of experience, it essentially offers you a sample size of just one porn site (or just one porn company, or just one porn producer, you). In simpler terms, your perspective is based solely on the statistics of a single company or person, rather than drawing insights from multiple businesses (a larger and more diverse sample). In contrast, TheLegacy by default, possesses a larger dataset on pornsite traffic and sales than you do, and therefore, his opinion may matter more than yours. You can learn from him. Even experts can learn from other experts my friend.
Additionally, if you've been collecting statistics for 15 years, you may have observed a historical pattern of sales slumping in January. With this information, you could make informed predictions that each January will likely be slower. Why not take proactive measures to prepare for it? If your website traffic decreases, consider implementing strategies to boost it such as improved SEO, or Paid traffic, or even some crappy Twitter traffic. Similarly, if your sales drop, you could contemplate offering special promotions or discounts to counteract the downturn, couldn't you? Offer 2 months for the price of one, and call it the "January Sales Sucks Special".

I'm sure he is an 'expert' on many things related to this Industry but for this topic his posts in this thread have NOT been helpful to me nor I suspect anyone.
As for asking Billers etc: I run almost 100 paysites and four Affiliate Programs. I have stats going back years for all these properties and I am saying THIS January is unusual. Is it a skewed persepctive I alone share with my myopic view of only my stats? Obviously not, thus this thread.
And finally I appreciate your helpful suggestions on how to increase traffic but if I have survived all this time don't you think I have done all you suggest and 10x more? Besides, I didn't say this was a traffic issue. Traffic is about the same, even up a little. Again it's about conversions and actual sales being down.
Peace to everyone.
