Google Traffic Comes in Waves

Peaks Every Monday?

Hey folks,

I track my hits from www.google.com as kind of a measuring stick for all of my google.* traffic. Starting in February the traffic starting coming in waves. What I mean by that is that I graph each month and in February it started having it's peaks on Mondays and it's valleys a little later in the week. For example in February the days that are at the highest are 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th.

Coincidentally in March the same days are Mondays and also the same days that are at the highest (3, 10, 17, 24).

Now this wasn't always true, if I go back to my stats for January they're flat as a board. They roughly hover at +/- 50 each day. By contrast in March it was more like +/- 300 depending on the day. That's a 600 hit difference on a Monday from say a Thursday.

Anyway, this is just something that's been irking me the last couple months. If it's going to be like this from now on then I'll live with it, but it just seems strange. Is anyone else tracking Google stats and noticing something similar? Worse yet, is it something I'm doing? :)

AL.

I have a similar site as yours europe - but a different locale.

I see the same trend. More visits during the week. More sales on the weekends.
