I'm sorry to be dense, but I'm not clear what you mean by this. If you get fifty percent of your week's traffic on Saturday, then how can Tuesday or Wednesday be your highest-traffic day? I must be misunderstanding what you're saying...?

Thank you.

Yes, for example :

Wednesday 1000 visitors
Saturday 500-550 visitors.

Rate : lowest day gets 50%-55% of the highest day traffic.

Ah. So you're saying that, in an average week, Saturday will be your slowest day, that one of Tuesday and Wednesday will be your busiest day, and that your slowest day sees only about half the traffic as your busiest day. And you're wondering how others' sites compare.

My site is an academic site, but I don't mean "for academic types"; my site is aimed at helping struggling students with their homework. Since homework assigned on Thursday or Friday isn't due until Monday or later, naturally my traffic drops like a stone as the weekend arrives, starting to pick up markedly on Sunday evening, as procrastinators begin to panic. <smile>

My slowest day, in an average week, will be Friday or Saturday, and my busiest will be Tuesday or (usually) Wednesday.

Of the roughly 2.7 million pages requested last month, 210271 (or 7.8% of the total) were requested on a Saturday, while 490996 (or 18.2% of the total) were requested on a Wednesday. The lower per-day traffic represents a (490996 - 210271)/490996 = 57.2% drop from the highest per-day traffic.

Hope that's the info you were looking for!

I dont have a big website, around 35 to 100/day
(80-200 with bots and spiders),
but the % and stats are similar.

(% for each day excluding spiders and bot)
Monday 15.78%
Tuesday 15.95%
Wednesday 15.44%
Thursday 15.44%
Friday 14.63%
Saturday 11.05%
Sunday 11.67%

Lots of people have only internet at work. I got many *.gov and many corporate visitors, wonder what they do at work :)

From the stats i also found less peoples using windows 2000 in the weekend and more peoples using Firefox browser.

This must be because people are using XP at home and 2000 and EI at work.
