My traffic on ThanksgivingDay was only a near 1% negative difference to normal weekdays. But on Friday my traffic dropped 14%. Has anyone experienced the same?

Likely that everyone was out shopping instead of being online. Those crowds have to come from somewhere.

Yeah, rather large drop in traffic across my sites to. I expected it though.. theres a lot of deals in stores that day in America from what I hear, a major shopping day I'm told.
Traffic usually returns to normal after Thanksgiving weekend for me, so I won't worry unless Monday is a very slow day to. Today traffic is already starting to go back to normal.

Is that all?
I've got an educational site, so my "customers" are all on break right now. I've had a 34% drop from the previous Friday.

Yes, the drop in many of my industries is significant during the week of Thanksgiving. Back in '02 it would make me nervous, but after five years I've learned to be patient; traffic always returns to full volume on the following Monday.

Yea, still worried though. Today the traffic is pretty low also. Hoping on Monday or Tuesday the traffic will return. Been steady all year.
