I don’t know exactly how all those online shops do during the Christmas seasons (probably they are blooming), but I can show you what two weeks or so of Christmas and New Year’s holidays can do to one’s blog statistics.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is a screenshot of weekly stats for my blog:<\/p>\n

\"Weekly<\/p>\n

X-axis shows a few last weeks of 2007 as well as a couple of weeks of 2008.\u00c2\u00a0 Y-axis shows the number of visits this blog had for each of those weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 A home-made red marker with a word “here” tries to bring your attention to the celebration of Christmas and New Year represented on this graph.<\/p>\n

As much as it was expected, that was quite a dive I must say.\u00c2\u00a0 Reasons?\u00c2\u00a0 I’d say there are only two:<\/p>\n

  1. Many people are busy with shopping, celebrations, travels, and other holiday matters.\u00c2\u00a0 Mostly off-line.<\/li>\n
  2. Many companies closed their offices and that minimized many employees’ access to the Web.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
