Site traffic falls/decrease during nights.

Maybe people are asleep. Just a thought.

Two possibilities:

1. As mentioned above, most people prefer sleep at night, rather than browse the web. I know we live on a 24-hour world where many countries are awake while others are asleep, but you’ll be surprised to find that most of your traffic comes from the United States, followed by Europe.

2. Your stats system may be tracking your own visits.

That’s true of almost anyone’s website, just as there are days that are busier than usual.

“I am really confused what to do in this situation, it is not possible to run my personal computer for 24 hours.”

What you’re doing on your own PC has nothing to do with real stats. You’re not a unique visitor and your stats provide zero value to your site anyway.

@thatjediguy: I visit my blog if I post new entry, on an average 3 times a day. Also I enabled the feature in wordpress status plugin which does not count my own visits to my blog.

If I turn ON my computer 24 hours, the page view count goes around 3K and if not then it goes to 2.5K.But it is not possible to run my PC for 24 hours a day!

I talked my hosting company but no luck..
I just want to know if anyone ever experienced this problem…

Here is my today’s status ( 4th Oct. 2010 ):
From 12.30 AM midnight to 12.00 PM – 598 visits.
On 1.00 PM – 767 visits
On 2.00 PM – 915 visits
On 3.00 PM – 1070 visits
On 4.00 PM – 1208 visits
On 5.00 PM – 1388 visits
On 6.00 PM – 1574 visits

Seriously, you don’t need to run your computer 24 hours a day. Having your computer on has nothing to do with people visiting your site.

What you are seeing is perfectly normal. You will not see consistent stats 24 hours a day because people sleep and work.

From 12.30 AM midnight to 12.00 PM – 598 visits: Normal. People are either sleeping or driving to work.

On 1.00 PM – 767 visits: Normal. Most people are still at work.

On 2.00 PM – 915 visits: Normal. Some people are starting to come home from work.

On 3.00 PM – 1070 visits: Normal. More people are leaving work.

On 4.00 PM – 1208 visits: Normal. More people have arrived home to browse their favorite websites.

On 5.00 PM – 1388 visits: Normal. Folks across the country are still leaving work.

On 6.00 PM – 1574 visits: Normal. Almost all of your audience should be home by now browsing their favorite websites.

Seriously, stop worrying so much about hourly stats. At the end of the day, the only number that matters is the total visits per day.

Again, leaving your PC on has nothing to do with who visits your site. You are seeing normal results indicative of normal human behavioral patterns.

Thanks a lot James and other members for your help.

You’re welcome!
