Most of the websites I have analytics access to, always have a drop of visitors for the weekend. Its a normal thing.

Sales online are well down due to the weather.

IT WAS THE FIRST REALLY HOT WEEKEND IN THE UK FOR AGES.
OWG got it 100% correct.

Weekend is a relax time.maybe most people just have a late get up than starting early.

As above! When you are trying to make sense of traffic on ecommerce sites you have to remember that daily variations for all sorts of reasons do not mean you need to adjust anything.

Look for trends! Understand your markets behaviour.

We sell trainers online. Yesterday was not our best day! However, this will be our best year thus far!

the first rule of correction, is to ensure you are correcting the cause.

If external forces have acted on your webtraffic, then there is no need to make changes. in fact, it would be counter productive to do so.

There were some HUGE bargains on ebay this weekend!!
Prepare yourself for another slump from Middle of June to Middle of July.

Always remember that the internet is just another thing in people's life and it competes with everything else for time, including sunny days spent in the garden with a BBQ and a few bottles of wine. So, you always have to know what else is going on in the real offline world, everything impacts.

It was the first very hot day of the year and it was really hyped up in the media, so I'm really not surprised business and consumer activity took a dive. It was probably especially noticeable this year when you take into account how bad our winter was. People were after a hot day more than ever.
