eBay Traffic Trending Downward

by Mark on May 12th, 2008

But what does it really mean? Will eBay’s future success or failure be measured in pageviews?

Ina Steiner has attempted some analysis at Auctionbytes;

“I was curious if the numbers might hint at any boycott effect. Looking at the numbers month-to-month, it shows a 13.21 percent drop in page views from January 2008 to February, and a 6.48 percent increase from February to March. There was also a 10.85 percent drop in time spent per person from January 2008 to February. It’s always tricky looking at month-to-month numbers, as seasonal effects can cause swings.”

Once again, the action is really in the comments!

This is simply my own personal thoughts - I think eBay’s future success or failure will be measured by their arrogance and sad attempts at PR spin… but those are other posts to come…
