    True or not. Seems like im doing pretty well on sunday's. I must admit that i have made some changes yesterday so i am not sure whether this has to do with the change or not ? But overall my earnings seem to be higher on sunday's. My cpm is three times as higher then on normal days? Wondering whether other people are experiencing this as well. :cool:

    I think it would depend on the content of your site... some sites will get more traffic on weekends.

    I think bests days of the week depend on content of sight. For an e-commerce site I followed over several years, Sunday was a very good day for traffic. People liked to order and have order shipped on Monday. For a teacher oriented site best days are Tues.-Thurs. When teachers get home on weekend they wanted to kick back and relax.

    I have a few informational sites that focus on what I would consider business type traffic. Of course they always due the worst on the weekends.

    It is totally dependent on content. We get about 1/3 our regular daily business and traffic on the weekends. Ours is a businessperson and student visited site. Non-recreational and non-personal product oriented.

    Our traffic runs about 2/3rds on weekends compared to weekday. On the positive side we see more clickthroughs from the people who do visit.

    We're using the extreme tracking script to track our visitors, too. The free version is 95% as good as the for-pay version but anybody can see your stats - where your traffic came from, what keywords were used, etc. Earlier, this didn't matter to us.

    My traffic is lower on weekends, so my AdSense drops some then. It really does depend on your target audience.

    My traffic is lower on weekends (sunday in particular), but CTR is higher, so it evens out. For me; best traffic days are monday and tuesday, with adsense earnings being highest there as well.

    It seems like for me the best days are Friday and Saturday. It's probably the nature of the consumer who visits your site (demographics).

    In the free version you have to display their image file but it's not too big. In the paid version you use a 1x1 GIF for tracking purposes.

    Like everyone else has said, depends on your target and visitors. My main site targets small business owners and home employers. Traffic drops like 75% on weekends. Tues and Wed have always been record setters for that site.

    Another site i run is a car club for a specific sports car. The forum of 500+ members recieves nearly all its posts throughout the week and is bare on weekends. Funny thing is i get 3x more new members signing up on weekends than throughout the week :)

    Mondays to Thursdays are my best days. However last Sunday was unusually good. My theme is images, design and print...online.

    recently i m seeing huge jumps in my revenue on weekends ... but i guess if ur site is purely technical then it will got more traffic on weekdays.

    My pages which focus on India mainly get hits on Indias weekdays as people browse mostly from their offices :)

    My traffic and adsense earnings is strongest during the weekdays, especially Thursdays and Fridays. I guess it just depends on your site and content.

    It depends on what kind of website you have. If its a game site, you would get loads of kids visiting your site on weekends. But for business sites or rather stock sites like mine http://stockmarket.cjb.net, I get plenty of users on weekdays but very few on weekends.

    But overall, the weekend activity looks little less than weekdays.
