The site: tool is so inaccurate it's not funny. Just to illustrate the fact we have a site that shows 1123 pages indexed on the home page , with 723 from it's single link first sub page [ one level down ] . The only difference in pages should be one. This is replicated across all sites that we monitor.

So I couldn't rely on that at all.

As for traffic, across all sites that i have seen Tuesday is a peak day and Saturday is the lowest. It seems common across all geographic areas.

Perhaps the best observation is in the log activity. Consistantly I have noticed 2 days for site movements [ as in what happens in Google's index ]. A withdrawal [ or increase ] of content appears to commence on a Thurs thru Sunday with it's effects visible over nearly 7 days. Links appear to kick in on a Tues and do the same.

So i think user activity is different from the indexing activity that you are reporting.

Maybe others see things differently , but that's what I've seen.
