So you would be making about as much money in the summer as in the winter.

The vast majority of signups still come from the US, so unless you are targeting a different market entirely you are going to be at the mercy of your market to at least some extent.

Suggesting that webmasters can target other markets or use different methods to increase profits during the summer period is all fine and dandy, but it doesn't disprove the existance of summer slowdown in the North American market.

Also calling webmasters who are exposed to the US market and suffer some form of slowdown during summer ... 'shit at webmastering' is provocative and isn't all that helpful. If you have some methods you employ to avoid the summer slowdown effect then by all means share with the rest of us
