Inauguration Day A Big Bust for Google Advertisers & Publishers

A WebmasterWorld thread has a lot of discussion from Google AdSense publishers on how poor of a day they had on Inauguration Day.

Traffic and clicks and earnings were way down for most of these publishers on the day. It seems like very few web users were out and about using these sites.

So let me poll our audience, how did you do on Inauguration Day?

I know this site's traffic was pretty even, but I think that was because we wrote a post about the day.
