The Holidays Hit Blogs and Websites of All Sizes
Posted on December 26, 2006, under Development.
Ahh.. the holidays: family, friends, food, wine, presents, and a dip in website traffic for all. Many users are away from their computers around the holidays, which means the drive of traffic to websites drops. Small blogs, like myself, especially get hurt. A look at Diggs’ recent page views traffic, courtesy of Alexa, shows that even the largest sites take somewhat of a hit. Not as many news stories have been going through Digg, and likewise news services have almost been stale the last couple days. I expect over the next week for traffic levels to level back off, and maybe even spike as people are getting back into their daily routine.
On a side note, I am in Wisconsin enjoying good beer and cheese for the next week. This is one of my few vacations I have over the year, so blogging might be a little slow for me. Hope everyone else is enjoying their holidays!
