Stats for N00Bs
Hi,
Thought I`d just post some basic stats, which might help n00bs as well.
1. For my website traffic, I tend to get the majority of traffic (fairly even too) Monday-Thursday. Friday drops off a bit, and Saturday is the low point. What does this say? Most people probably have office jobs 9-5, and on weekends want to get away from the computer. How do you use this info? Well -- you know that they like their weekends -- so provide a product/service for that.
2. It's been my experience that whatever promotion I do, it seems to have minimum a 2-3 week lag time. So if I do a promotion today, I'll probably have to wait 3 weeks until I see a sale. (That is of course excluding direct response lists). So what does this say? Don't be discouraged if you don't see a sale right away. Patience is a virtue.
Those are two main things. If you are an expert, feel free to add your own bit of advice.
