During weekdays the search traffic is high. But during the weekends the search traffic is less. I guess people at work are not working and just searching more ;) when they are off work on weekends, they are not ! I have observed another pattern with search traffic.

One thing i have noticed that weekends experiences low traffic than weekdays. Is it the case with all of you?

Perhaps that's a factor. I have read that the U.S. Presidential election ramped up Internet traffic and online advertising last year and we are now re-adjusting. Perhaps that's a factor.

Even the image could have been taken from my sites if you make the numbers on the left side signifcantly smaller... :-)I hope this is de to economic recession and to Google/Yahoo and others punishing me for whatever reason - i.e. using Vladimir's sensational seo plugins :-) I experience the exact same problems as the one Vladimir is describing above.

These days my search traffic tends to be down but I think economic recession is the main cause. Sometime people need to recess, that's all. If They found our content is useful someday They'll be coming back again.. I'm on the way to manage an IT blog in my local language.

One of the top 100 SEO's in the world told me when I was learning keyword research that most of the so called "data" from Keyword Discovery or Wordtracker, of Google SKTools, or Compete has to be taken in relative terms and not verbatim as if it were the truth. Frequently we find keyword tools saying there is zero traffic on a phrase when we know there is traffic. Is social media replacing search..?? That would be interesting to verify. We all use RSS feeds and Alltop and Sphinn, maybe that does tend to make SEO's anyway search less. It's a big world - I personally would bet it is just the economy downturn effecting Competes ISP data. My traffic has been increasing on my main 4 sites as well.

I think that Social Media has come of age. People are not searching as much... they head to the S.M. sites! It's been talked and written about a lot. And here we are... And the fact is, I think the economy has instigated the speeding up of use of the social sites. There, people can not only find out immediate news, links, and media opinions, but they can interact with real folks. The S.M. sites not only provide the news, etc... they provide friends for support. The Internet is evolving. Quickly.
