I've been launching my blog and redesigning a little bit of the site (I can't design). I've also been planning what I'm going to write about in the next few weeks.

January may be slow, then again there may be people searchng for accessories for their new gizmos. It'll be interesting to see how January pans out.

Take some time to reflect on the last 12 months and plan what the next 12 are going to bring. Traffic increases around Xmas for me, so in theory I should be making the most of it, but I've done some prep work over the last week to ensure everything will run smoothly without me.

Sit around and eat fruitcake. Dunno. The blog I write on is probably actually going to have traffic start to pick up right around now and through January due to the subject. Today's a holiday and a weekend which normally means very minimal traffic, but I'm getting the equivilent of a weekday. Generally wasting time. Sit around and eat fruitcake. Dunno.

I also don't expect a significant drop in ad revenue either, for the same reason. I <em>do</em> get drops, generally only on the holidays themselves, and sometimes the day before and the day after. But I expect by Monday, traffic will be fairly close to normal. I don’t expect a significant drop in traffic, as my blogs aren’t product/shopping focused.
