Best Day for Blogging and Getting More Website Visitors? Monday, Monday...


Best Day for Blogging and Getting More Website Visitors? Monday, Monday...


Having blogged now for almost four years, I've noticed an interesting trend that other bloggers perhaps have noticed, too.


Mondays seem to burst thru the blogging gate like gang-busters with web traffic and all.


It's funny how the web and people and trends can surprise you.


I used to assume that Fridays would bring me my most traffic. I assumed people would feel relaxed enough at work to kick back on a Friday and surf a little more than usual -- since it was wind-down-to-the-weekend time.


But alas, since most of my websites cover hot trending topics and current events, I found that Mondays are on average my highest traffic days.




People must go back to work on Mondays...


Either not ready to break out of their weekend mode, or meet their coworkers after the weekend is over and talk about the happenings over the weekend.


Then they probably Google away together or alone, all that stuff that happened while they were out living their lives.


Or, it just occurred to me -- there are people who probably still don't have a PC at home, or as much access as they'd like till they get back to work. Either way, surfing on Mondays on company time must be a trend because people feel bored or whatever and don't want to work.


Perhaps their work is surfing online and finding news stories as is my present career.


And of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. Like I think it was a Wednesday when Oprah announced her KFC deal, and I wrote up a post about it and got thousands of pageviews.


There have been other blessed days -- not Mondays -- where my web traffic has hit 50,000 page views in one day, because the Lord's perfect storm of topic, SEO, Google position and interest have married.


But I wake up a lot of Mondays, even when I haven't blogged sometimes, just knowing my traffic (and thusly, prayerfully, my income) will be naturally higher.

Thanks for this web-tip. I hadn't notices such a trend on my blog ... however, I ain't getting 3,000 hits a day like you (smile)!

I keep you on my RSS-feed to learn good stuff like this. Thank you for continuing to do what you do...

peace, Wayne
People get to work after a weekend and the first thing they think about is how to waste some time. That's when they read the most stuff - monday morning.

Good insight. Have to start loading up for the beginning of the work week from now on. Couple of questions for you.

What's the difference between AdSense and AdWords please? Is one free and the other not or is it the purpose for which they are used that's different between the two? If you have a blog post on this somewhere a link would be great too.

Also a little more pecifically, can AdWords/AdSense only be used on blogspot sites or on any type of site platform?

Great post. This is something I need to focus on soon. Getting a blog up and running is one thing -retaining readers is another challenge altogether.

Hey Martin -

Yeah, to answer your questions, AdSense is the code we load onto our blogs (either Blogger, WordPress or other sites) that lets advertisers run ads on our blogs and we get paid when people click on those links.

Adwords are ads that you can buy that will show up either on other websites and/or the Google search engine to the right-hand side when people search for the search terms that you big on in Adwords -- so yes, it cost money to buy these ads to bring traffic to your website.

Read up all you can about Adwords if you ever decide to do that so you won't waste money like I've done with that in the past.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
