    For those who sell products (or affiliates of products) are your sales up, down or the same during this period last year?

    I am curious since our sales are up and seem strong this year, but wanted to know if this is accross the board or if we are doing something right.

    My Amazon affiliate stats are always up around the holiday, but only by a little bit. Mostly more sales from family, friends, and some random last minute holiday searches.

    Too early to tell really. Busiest days are coming up soon (end of the week) - that'll determine how it goes really.

    I cannot speak for our affiliates stuff as I have not seen much different, but the things we sell on our site seem to be a bit up. Oddly enough our little pottery auction site has taken off and things are actually selling. People are actually bidding and winning/selling items. It's small stuff at the moment, but it is certainly growing. I would imagine Christmas buying is the main motivator there.

    Tracking day to when compared to last year gross sales are up about about 300% this year :D

    I got lucky and hit page 1 in November in the big three SE's for a bunch of terms I'm after.
