Day 17 – Don't check your blog analytics during the holidays

Seriously, it’s way too depressing.  I’ve been checking my analytics almost daily for a while now.  Typically I see my traffic go up, then down, then up a little more, then down a little, and so on and so-forth, but the last few days have been absolutely dismal.-

I knew when I first decided to pull a 30-day blog-o-thon that Thanksgiving would fall right in the middle of it and possibly affect my numbers, and that’s definitely been the case.  Here’s my advise to an every-day blogger.  Think about what you’re posting and post your best work on days that you know you’ll get more traffic.  This site typically sees the most traffic between Tuesday and Thursday and the least amount of traffic on Saturday and Sunday.
