Hi all, this month was really slow, but I didn’t think much of it. However today I took a look at the analytics and I noticed a spectacular drop in overall visits of all my items this month. On average it has to be more than 50% less, in some cases 70% ... it’s pretty mind blowing.
Has anyone experienced something similar? After all I do not have that many items.
I do not do any marketing for my items, don’t do any referrals etc. So my statistics are purely Envato related. That makes it all the more worrying I guess…
Here’s my numbers, just months and total visits:

Pretty scary huh?
Chris
Almost exactly the same here. First week of march, way the best so far, then suddenly more then 50 % less.
I think it’s normal for the views to decrease since as time passes the people who viewed your item the first month will probably not view it again (I think items almost always get seen the most the first month). Also, exposure keeps reducing.
However, I have noticed that something is changing here in regards to sales. I uploaded quite a few items here in the last two months but monthly sales are not really increasing. Also, old items don’t sell much anymore.
Just checked.
All items are significantly down in views. Couple by 50%.
Heres to a good next week eh?

This month has been my best month since I started in late November. How many sales do you have this month? Do you design flyers, timeline covers, corporate identity? That is is what is in demand.

I am 3 month user I can’t say it from my experience but I think this month was quite good for me. I think I will be in top march authors. I have various items in my portfolio and I see that the best sellings are Facebook timeline covers, but it’s not good to invest on them as they are completely temporary items. there are more than 5 items in popular weekly sellers now And it’s increasing.
