I hope it rains this bank holiday. I hope its so miserable outside that millions of people who would otherwise be out in the park or down the beach simply can’t bare the thought of leaving home. Actually I don’t because I love my sunny days but when it rains on a bank holiday I find I get traffic and sales spikes to my sites.
Well, I say “I find” like I know what I’m talking about but the actual fact is that I’ve only had one bumper bank holiday (where sales cleared £100 for the day) since I started affiliate marketing (around about June last year), so really what I’m hoping for here could well be a hopeless pipe dream.
But that’s the buzz of aff marketing…you just never know and I believe if I’ve done it before, I’m pretty sure I could do it again.
Anyway, here’s to hoping the sun does come out this weekend and all my fellow affiliates out there enjoy some fun in the sun whilst our sites keep the money coming in!!

The weather really does affect traffic and sales for a few of my sites. I have one which is really weather dependent and have noticed a pattern in the sales!

Hi James,
Good stuff…I hate to say it but this bank holiday the weather didn’t help me out too much! I didn’t manage to notch any sales so am entering this week well depressed!
I know that my PPC-driven affiliate site is definetely a summer-time product, and I thought the rainy day would keep people inside and on the net but I guess I was wrong…maybe I need sun to make the sale…
