The end of this week being US Thanksgiving weekend should see most bloggers losing a large portion of their page views/visits as US citizens are eating turkey and spending time with their family. I had a quick look into Google Analytics comparing this week to last week and the trend is evident that my blog has taken a hit in terms of traffic.

The graph below compares visits this vs. last week:

US traffic comprises over 50% of my blogs traffic and segmenting the traffic by US regions shows exactly what states I noticed the biggest drops in traffic in (this week vs. last week):

• California – down 19.44%
• New York – down 33.14%
• Masachussets – down 11.83%
• Pennsylvania – down 28.09%
• Illinois – down 33.33%

I expect this downward trend to continue until about Tuesday, when US citizens return to work at full force.
