    I have noticed that for me anymore, yes I may get less traffic on weekends, but last sat and sun, my earnings were a LOT more than what I made mon - tues with YPN.

    Now today on Thanksgiving, a major holiday, I have made more now at 11:30 am then I did all day yesterday (tues)........ :)

    With YPN and Adsense, I have dropped my preconceptions about what day has the best earnings.

    It used to be Wednesday was the best with Saturday being the worst. In just the past month, this has reversed.

    I have to remind myself the web is 24-7-365. Money is being made non-stop.

    yes me too, and you cannot even go by low traffic days, some days on weekend or low traffic days like the Holiday today, I have made more then high traffic days, it seems the more I do this net stuff, the more it shows there are no stats that seem to follow pattern all the time....... it seems it all changes or is so random it's incredible, and tryin to give credence or follow a pattern is enough to make a bluegill pull his fins out......... :)

    Is you site (sites) about anything that's holidays or gifts - related? That would have explained it rather easily. Actually, none of my sites are even remotely close to the holidays theme but my Thanksgiving day in YPN as also not too bad - not the best, but very decent, despite lower traffic. Interesting observation there, Catcher:)

    What is interesting is almost all of my sites are software related, and very non holiday related, but also strange is that on weekend and holidays I get a lot lower traffic which is normal I believe with most folks, but as I noted above, on the weekends and holidays like today, even though my traffic is lower then regular weekdays, I seem to earn more money with clicks on weekends and holidays then I do on other days....... it's so strange.

    It used to be that if it was a sat or sun or a holiday, I would have low traffic and hardly any ad clicks, now it's still low traffic but a lot more clicks, and with YPN, the ad cicks are worth up to 10 X more then AdSense clicks paid me

    I've made about $200 less today on YPN than a normal day, and about $150 less than a weekend day.

    I hate holidays/weekends when it comes to money.

    BTW: there's no myths about it, your traffic/earnings depend on users, some users are more likely to visit at certain days/times depending on your sites categories/content..

    Either you celebrated Thanksgiving a day early -- or you went on a bender and blacked-out all of Wednesday!

    I would lay off the hard stuff, and stick to weak beer!:D

    Since the recent launch of my site I was dreading the first major holiday. I was right, my traffic is quite dismal today. :(
