Every summer for years my average daily traffic numbers fall at a steady pace from the end of May until the bottom out in July. Then come mid August they begin their climb once again. The drop in traffic and resulting decline in revenue makes one not look forward to summer with the same egger anticipation as others might.

Income has gone down due to some bigger sites dropping SERPS. Summer = Going to lake a lot for me so I love it. My stuff has gone up actually, and as far as clients they are going up too.
