Audience Seasonality — or what month to pick when launching a website (1)
I came across a study from XitiMonitor, a company providing Internet traffic monitoring services, which shows how consumers use the web for each month. It is noteworthy that XitiMonitor is a french company, and have no activities whatsoever in Montreal, but they do however track Internet traffic globally, and I am sure this will interest anyone having a worldwide Internet audience or planning to launch a web startup soon.
