eBay Traffic Trending Downward

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…
