Do You Blog In The Weekends?
I consider weekends family time. Weekdays are much too loaded with work. And when one gets home after the daily grind, you’re usually tired and weary. You can’t even play with the kids. Chances are they’re tired, too. But I make it a point to blog at least once every week day. Even if it’s from work, I try to write a couple of blog posts and read updates with my trusty feed reader (don’t tell my boss!).
So weekends, I try to rest and keep away from the keyboard. And checking on my stats, I’ve found that people tend to read less during Saturdays and Sundays. I don’t know about you, but maybe that means other people blog (and read blogs) less during the weekends, too.
However, I’m blogging now, for a change. Or, at least I’m trying to get into the habit of posting a few entries in my blogs during the weekend, too. Here’s why.
- For some reason, my AdSense earnings are higher during weekends. I get a good combination of high clickthroughs and high per-click earnings. I wonder why. Maybe people are more likely to browse (and blindly click) during weekends. Or maybe more advertisers like to run their ad campaigns in the weekend—perhaps people are more inclined to buy and spend during weekends.
- As for readership, well it won’t make a difference whether I post today or tomorrow (Monday). Readers get to read my posts tomorrow, too (duh!). So I better post now for those early birds who like to check blogs Monday mornings.
- Lastly, I might have some really creative, really interesting ideas I’d like to write about in the weekends. No sense in letting these slip away just because I want to rest.
I’m interested in learning whether other people blog in the weekends too, especially the pro-bloggers.
