Come on think about it for a second.... 1.... It OBVIOUSLY depends 100% on your theme plus your audience. I get most traffic for one site on the weekends. I get most traffic for another site on weekdays. You weren't really thinking that ALL traffic on Google is low across the entire world across all sites did you?
Yes, and holiday season will cause a further down turn unless you work on your site and improve traffic.
A website about office supplies will get its traffic on weekdays. A website about hobbies of sorts is likely to peak on weekends.
In fact the summer is slower than the winter for most industries and sunny warm days usually mean less traffic than cold, dreary ones. This type of cycle is present both on and offline throughout a wide range of businesses.
But then you have a site that's seasonal, mainly summer selling trampolines and swimming pools and you get the opposite again. It all depends.
My hobby sites get a lot of their traffic during the business day -- from people who should be working. Friday afternoon... traffic drops off early. Oddly... it picks up again on Sunday, not Monday.
I have 3 themed sites, B2B Coffeesupplies weather : no influence weekend : traffic low summer : no influence Investing weather : no influence weekend : traffic low summer : traffic low Hobby weather : very big influence (when it's raining in holland the traffic doubles) weekend : no influence summer : traffic lower
The same thing happens on both my music site and my wife's massage site. If it is a holiday weekend, the numbers drop even more significantly.
That's not always true. I find for a couple of my "recreation" sites the traffic heavier on Friday than on the weekend. Most likely people getting ready to go do there fun stuff.
gotta love that - i see it too, but mine is travel! I guess when people are at work, they tend to want to be somewhere else .
For me, my traffic reduces to about 45% on friday, and about 30% on saturday, and about 55% on Sunday... So yup, I deffinatly get more traffic during the week. Josh
