Brown Talk: Open Comments Batch 8
Sunday means that I get to be a normal reader instead of being the author. Thanks to Matt of BAYB for giving me the idea. For those unfamiliar with open comments, this just means that you can talk about anything you want.
Nothing is off-topic.
Bring some food and drinks and let’s talk 
.
For all the shy people out there(like me) who come to visit but never comment, this is your chance 
.
This post is all yours.

Oooh, the coveted “1st comment” honors! How could I be so lucky?
Did anyone else notice a marked dip in their site traffic on Friday, July 13th?
July 16th, 2007 00:34
Yeah I noticed that too. Don’t tell me some people avoid surfing the web on Friday the 13th hehe. I was wondering about the dip in traffic though.
July 16th, 2007 00:38
I must have been one of the lucky ones. I had pretty good traffic on Friday
It’s actually been pretty consistent lately. I don’t know what I’m doing differently but I should keep doing it…hehe.

Luckily no. My traffic actually jumped by about 10 to 227 visitors on Friday. And what’s funny about that is 27 is my favorite number and 227 was my dorm room number in college!
But Saturday I wasn’t so lucky. Traffic slumped a bit…and there was nothing I could do about it. I was babysitting for a friend all day and evening so I had no time to post anything. Oh well.
Anyway, I wanted to wish everyone here who comments the best of luck and success with their blogs!
Shine on,
Aaron

I’ve been putting it off all week, but today I’m making some Lemon Bar Cheesecake things. It’s gonna be SWEET. (pun intended)

Talkin` about traffic, is me or saturday-sunday usual traffic going way lower than other days ?
July 16th, 2007 07:17
Yes Valentin, generally traffic levels do go down on the weekends since many people are out and about and doing things that are not work-related.
Historically, the best traffic days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (according to most sources)…though some do list Saturday as a high traffic day as well.
As for me, there’s no hard and fast rule other my posting levels. My traffic is the same on all days of the week. The only thing that seems to affects it is my posting frequency.
Shine on,

Bush - YUM! I myself just finished making one of my favs…a chocolate pudding pie with graham cracker crust. No doubt I’ll already have eaten half of it by day’s end.
July 16th, 2007 08:32
My traffic went up on Friday, and on Saturday - but today (Sunday) is a whole other story.
@Aaron - Chocolate pudding pie!?!? O_O!!! That sounds ten times better than the Fruit & Nut bar I bought at the 7-Eleven. Yum!
July 16th, 2007 08:46
hiiiii im new to this , i think its a great idea to let people talk about whatever…..
its a bloggers life!!!!! im not complaining!!

Hey Danielle,
Hey, nothing wrong with Fruit & Nut bars…all you have to do is dip them in a little chocolate pudding pie and they taste delicious!
Shine on,

@confessing7girl - Since I started blogging, it seems that more and more I am turning down invites to go out.
@Aaron - Yeah but this would require me to make a pudding pie. Hmmm… might actually be a good idea.
July 16th, 2007 11:08
@Aaron and Danielle:
You guys are making me really hungry
@confessing7girl:
Glad you could join us
So Mon - Wed are usually the big traffic days? Hmm I should get a good post ready for tomorrow then

I did the same thing on my site, chilled out and will be back posting during the week.
I didn’t notice anything different than normal this Friday the 13th.

@Madhur:
I haven’t watched it yet. People are saying it’s good though. I might watch it this week.
@confessing7girl:
Haha you know that makes sense

What tips do you guys have for building traffic? I am currently researching this and what to know what has worked best for you guys?
July 19th, 2007 22:24
Tom, best thing for traffic is to let people know you are out there. Regularly visit other blogs and engage in the discussions. People also mention forums too. This has helped my traffic stay at a fairly consistent level, but as always I’m looking for MORE!
