Do You Have The Black Plague?

After blogging for years and years, I have to come to see a pattern in reader behaviour. We all know that sex sells and yadda, yadda, yadda... but I also noticed that one should not post anything on a Friday. Readership always sucks on that day. I have no idea why. Any theories to share?

yes.. all the weekly reports shows a decline towards friday...

maybe because nobody reads on a friday and everyone just happily while the day away doing something else but read blogs or work? LOLX..

@Takashi:

@Medie:
Not mind or don't mind. It's more about ROI. XD

@Danny:
Hehe. I never noticed that about Saturday.

@Twi:
Aha! You have found a sweet spot.

Everyone works on Friday and they party on Friday. Many people don't work on Saturyday and so though they may party that night as well, they have time to surf the net during the day. I noticed that jam around City Hall in Singapore is the worst on Friday night, and not during Saturday night and I believed it's for the same reason.

Oh...this is nothing new. Just trends that media has picked up long time ago. Based on normal behaviour. It's not that they don't read blogs, just that they pick up/read other things for eg: where to party, where's the sale etc etc.

Launch things on Monday because everything is mundane and people will do everything except work on that day.

@Takashi:
To me it always has. :)

@JJ:
The jam is always horrible on Friday nights, but I don't see how that relates to blog readership.

@TBoy:
Aha! A subject matter expert! Thanks.

@SkyH:
Haha. You're the best reader a blog can ever hope for.

Friday = Normal office work hours + party night + worse than normal jam = less time to to other things, which include surfing blogs.
