Low Saturday Sunday traffic

[Dhruva]

I have noticed traffic is 25-35% low in Saturday/Sunday days in my website. Have you guys have also seen similar trend or Google is deliberately not letting get the traffic in these days.

Also, one more things I have noticed Google allows only certain number of keywords to rank well for the particular website. For example it will technically make sure only your 5 to 7 keyword get better ranking, I meant 30-50 visitors per keyword and than other 5 keywords 15-20 user/keyword..

Have you also noticed similar observations??

Your niche can have a massive impact on what your traffic looks like over the week. I run a website that focuses on professional services and software development, I see a massive drop off of traffic on the weekend, but this is because my audience will primarily be looking for sites like mine during working hours. I still get some traffic on weekends from people who are doing development then but it is nothing compared with Monday-Friday.

Exactly, we also offer trend forecasting services and may be due to the week off they are more likely busy in social media and whatsapp

I think for adult market people love it on weekend when they are free.

For me Saturday and Sunday are the best days of the week and the low traffic day for me is Monday

Google is deliberately not letting get the traffic in these days.

That's a tall statement.

Before blaming Google, keep in mind niche visitation is a dynamic thing. It varies day by day, weekend vs weekday, week over week and etc...

Get scientific with it, go to Google search console. Narrow in on the queries you care about, graph their performance on a daily basis for two-three weeks and see if it holds up your theory.

Don't know how old is your website but if it's been around for a while and you have enough data dig into it and you'll see a pattern. For me, weekends are the best, slowest days are Thursdays and Fridays. As for:

For example it will technically make sure only your 5 to 7 keyword get better ranking, I meant 30-50 visitors per keyword and than other 5 keywords 15-20 user/keyword..

based on my experience that's not true, I have a number of posts ranking on page one for more than 7 keywords and have not noticed any 'discrimination'. If it's well written (optimized) and has the backlinks, it'll rank. If you're not seeing the results you'd like, take a good look at your website to find out why. Another way to explain why the 'other keywords' don't bring you traffic is that most probably they have lower search volume.

Well I am talking based on the observations,
Last week when my robotx.txt blocked the website, my old contents started to get the ranking well those who were not doing well previously, and once I fixed the robotx.txt issue they again went back to the last bench.

So, specifically I have also observed if one of my top performing keywords are not doing well they get replaced by the another keywords.
Maybe you are right, so for that I will further collect the more information on this.
