The Serge Is Working

After a fairly early success, traffic took a nose dive over the weekend. Why are weekends so bad for blogs? If you really think about it, when do you usually read blogs? You’re probably reading this while you’re at work right now. Most people read their blogs at work. Another big percentage of users want to be out, with friends and family during the weekends. So it’s no surprise that blogs will have a low traffic number on weekends. Couple that with the fact that the site still doesn’t have any pages indexed, you can see why my traffic dropped to 1 user on sunday (which was probably just me checking site operation).

Traffic has picked up again now that it’s a monday but so far no ad clicks. I need to be more clever about ads but I can work on that at any time. The first thing I will be focusing on is driving traffic. My lesson on pingbacks opened my eyes to the possibility of drawing more traffic in. I will couple that with cleaning up some of the posts (news feeds are not working very well) and maybe write some real content made by myself to drive higher traffic.
