We normally have more traffic weekdays i think it is because people browse when they are at work and their Mrs are not about as a tread we see more sales during the week but this could be because affiliates work harder during the week.
Historically, for me, whether celebrity, foot fetish, or whatever I have almost ALWAYS seen the majority of my sales during the week. It's not to say some do not happen on the weekend. But, many more on average are closed for me are week days.
(affiliate here) weekends sales have been kicking weekdays in the ass for several months now. a couple of saturdays recently did like 50-60% more. by contrast, some weekdays (usually monday - tuesday) are really bad, sometimes less than half the average.
i been figuring for a while now that there has been a change in the way credit card transactions are handled and have even asked in the forum several times for some inside info but no one is saying shit
as for traffic, weekends are always slightly less than weekdays. that hasn't changed
For us... it's been about the same for as long as I can recall.
Weekends are normally more traffic, thus more sales. Mix in a good weekend with good ratios, and the weekday can't ever compete. For the weekdays, the traffic being lower normally keeps the sales lower, however for as long as I can remember, some weeks/days would spike all because of the ratio. Traffic would be normal weekday traffic but sales would skyrocket, like a processor unplugged a hole for a few days, then put the plug back in later in the week.
Biggest spikes, are when Paydays for the 1st and 16th fall on a Friday, that weekend always rocks. Worst ratio weeks are long payday weeks, it may be a good weekend if the Friday falls on the first, but the next weekend and following week, will suck because everyone is out of Money.
more often than not our sales go up a bit over a weekend, but it is a small percentage usually and barely worth mentioning. We have big days during the week periodically too, so its like trying to predict the weather i find--i even call my daily stats reports weather reports. One thing that is pretty universal though is that a lot more people signing up later in the day than earlier.
There is no "normal" - everyone's traffic is differant, everyone's traffic patterns are differant, differant surfers, differant business models, differant traffic sources, differant traffic strategies.
So: judge your own patterns and work within them; asking others their experiences is like asking the monthly generic "How are your sales this month?" threads. Differant for everybody.
Sorry if that's not what you're looking for but that's reality.
