Does anyone have a traffic curve for U.S. based web sites?

[littleman]

I am looking for info on traffic % per hour. I can't really use my sites because I get too much international traffic.

Eastern Time Zone for an Eastern "guide" site. Based on the registration forms, almost 90+% of the traffic comes from the same state or those within a 4-hour drive, if that helps any.

What are you looking for? I have a national site as well, the traffic kind of rolls with the time zone.

You got me wondering what the difference might be, Littleman. Here's the national site and it gets very uniform traffic by state, or at least the town and state that is being researched. The server is set on Eastern time, so the slight shift to later hours relative to the server clock is expected as the midwesterners and Californians log on.
