You're welcome. I like it when facts confirm my pre-conceived notions. Just because a category is popular, that doesn't mean it is lucrative. :mrgreen:

They haven't sold much from the catalog the last week or so. Like 20 max in a day. Haven't looked in the past few days.

Has anyone noticed that views might be broken? They slowed to a crawl for me and then today I got a sale on an article with no views.

Seems to be picking up. There have definitely been some slow days for catalog sales as of late, but appears to be picking up. Need to make time to beef up my seasonal content!

Oct 2 - 39 catalog sales
Sept 29 - 27 catalog sales
Sept 26 - 29 catalog sales

oh good. I stopped looking last week because last week was depressing. lol

I don't do as much as you guys, but I made a huge effort this summer. By "huge" I mean 70 in 4 months. I'm soooo close to 1000. I think I'm about 150ish out from 1000.
