I've currently got about 15 sites tanking in that 2-6 month period. I'm hoping they'll be ranking properly in time the holiday season. Fingers crossed. Seriously though, this information is spot on. Last year when I got in this business I'd made a couple of hundred bucks until October. Then my traffic jumped 100% overnight and I had a great Xmas. And yes I even managed to hold on to the traffic without a January drop which was even better. As I have often said on my own blog if I can do it anyone can but you've got to be able to take the knocks and yes there will be knocks as I know only too well.

Seriously though, this information is spot on. Last year when I got in this business I’d made a couple of hundred bucks until October. Then my traffic jumped 100% overnight and I had a great Xmas. And yes I even managed to hold on to the traffic without a January drop which was even better.

As I have often said on my own blog if I can do it anyone can but you’ve got to be able to take the knocks and yes there will be knocks as I know only too well.

Nice one Mark

Continue building your inbound links and when the "Busy Season" hits, you will be perfectly positioned for the market. Also - Even though several markets "Peak" at certain times, they still do some business during the slow times. Its when a lot of people look for bargains within the niche.

So if I have a niche which sells in a trend, mainly in jun-jul-aug, would you advice to build the site now and do a lot of link building all the time to keep it in the search engines or just wait till may and build it then?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('766','femke'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('766','femke','Interesting...\r\n\r\nSo if I have a niche which sells in a trend, mainly in jun-jul-aug, would you advice to build the site now and do a lot of link building all the time to keep it in the search engines or just wait till may and build it then?'); return false;">Quote</a></div> Interesting…

This up and down search engine thing has happened to me several times and it still affects the way I think.(cry,cry,wine,wine) Like you said you can quit and cry or you can keep on keeping on. I choose to keep on even when hit with the ever changing market and search engine changes. It is not easy to stay possitive and focused when these changes happens. But the alternative to doing this website stuff and possibly making more money someday is another 25 years of hard labor for someone else instead of some more years of learning and tweaking what I already know thanks to you.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('730','ottidid'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('730','ottidid','Mark, What a great post and reminder of Dollagreens.
