I have to admit that I've speculated that the warm weather is the culprit but there's definitely no speculation on the numbers.
Saturday is traditionally the second slowest (Friday being the lowest) traffic day of the week, yet yesterday LJN enjoyed a surge with 3,260 visitors. The average for the previous 7 days is 2.703 visitors.
There's nothing in yesterday's stats to suggest any one particular event triggered such a spike: I can only conclude that the fine weather has sent consumers and trade alike looking for ideas and information.
As an aside but significant is the number of LJN members reading our weekly and one-off newsletters. c27% of LJN's membership is opening our Saturday newsletter and earlier this week, when we sent out details of the Cut the Vat campaign report, 1,064 people opened the newsletter within 24 hours.

9-10.00pm on a Monday evening is the hottest hour of the week, normally.
Another strong visitor day yesterday - 3.742
Are you going to start pushing something so that we get jobs on here from the public soon phil?
It's a very reactive industry - people put gardening/landscaping to the back of the mind through winter, and the first sign of sun and warmth brings everyone flocking out again!
Looks like most of the LJN pages viewed are informational - do you reckon they're home owners looking for advice or professionals?
I think people are arriving for all manner of things. Those links are just the landing pages. What and why a searcher was actually looking for isn't clear from this.
I was in bed last night and my daughter answered the LJN phone to a guy looking for patio stone. Yesterday I took a call from a lady near Guildford who had lost/sacked her gardening firm after 8 years and was looking for another.
Recently I got an email from a school headmistress in Weston-Super-Mare who was looking for the school play area to be replaced with artificial turf.
I'll see if I can anaylise some recent searches and pop them up.

I've just taken a phone call from a lady in Epsom who wants a 100m of Cobbletech laid.
She called after reading Cobbletech info on LJN.
I'm now going to try and find an LJN Premium member to give here a quote.
Thats great. It seems the LJN site is not only a valuable resource for industry professionals but the general public too. And with a growing reputation such as this, its only a matter of time before it becomes a highly respected association within the industry, more so than it already is.
Yes Rob...I know it's dragging on but the Landscape Engine is so close now.

It's always been my focus to create a resource that serves the trade-to-trade as well as the trade-to-consumer market and I believe LJN works strongly for both.
