Holiday Traffic

Hello affLIFTers

I have a question about starting to learn (test campaigns) during the Holiday Season.

I understand it is the best time of the year to make money...

But, if you are a newbie and prone to make mistakes (waste money) should I wait until the "rush" is over?

I am thinking with all the competition for traffic the bid prices will go up, and therefore... so will the cost of traffic.

After the big holiday rush is over I am guessing the bid prices will go back down...

Am I wrong?

Thanks for your
