Father’s Day Traffic Dip
It’s fathers day, and traffic levels to my sites have dipped significantly. I’ve observed this in the past on other national holidays, and on weekends in North American summer months.
Looking at CyberWyre logs: The five-day Monday-Friday average traffic levels of the week leading up to Father’s Day 2006 fell over 45% on the weekend. On other weekends in the month traffic levels only dipped 30% from their Monday-Friday average. Looking at January 2007, it can be seen that traffic levels only dipped an average of 9% on the weekend from their workday average.
Although traffic certainly is affected by factors other than public holidays and weather, from these results, I can clearly see that CyberWyre does experience significant traffic dips on the weekends in the Summer months, and even more so on national holidays.
Happy Father’s Day!
Time to go BBQ….
This can be expected. But, even on Father’s Day, I’m trying to find a way to earn a buck!
Strange. I do not observe that pattern. It seemed true this morning but in the afternoon, traffic got back to its normality.
I’ve seen the same trend across a few different sites. Father’s day traffic always seems to take pretty steep nose dive.
I’ve seen the same kinds of results on my site as well, even though it is a bit newer. After Independence Day, I suspect it should go up again though.
Me too, i have seen the trend on Google .
