Is Tuesday your worst conversion day too?

I'm seeing an odd pattern

[inbound]

The Boomtown Rats sang 'I don't like Mondays'; I'd say Tuesdays are worse, from a conversion point of view.

Every Tuesday since the Adwords algo change I have seen conversion at around two thirds of the other days! How odd.

Visitor numbers are fine, they just don't behave in the same way as other days. Conversion for me is not for them to buy anything so it can't be down to spending habits.

What's your bogey day?

Tuesday is not consistent for me to say I have a pattern. I can say there are days where it seems someone is testing different mixes for content and it can throw conversions into a tailspin - as if the rudder went missing.

I was just about to post a new thread that would have simply read "Tuesdays suck". Then I saw this thread.

I agree. Tuesdays seem really strange. I get the same number of impressions and clicks, but very few sales.

I happened to mention it yesterday at the office, and someone told me that people in the know who use (well known online auction site) also make sure that none of their auctions will end on a tuesday because it's the worst day for conversions.

So if they see that pattern too, then it isn't just gaw. Interesting.

I plan to decreas my bids before I go to bed Monday night, then put them back on Tuesday night. Maybe it will save some money.
