More than half the daily hits come before Noon, Pacific time. The trend has always been toward more hits earlier in the day. I know 6a.m. and 7a.m., Pacific time, are usually the busiest hours of the day. Tuesday is the busiest day, Saturday is the slowest. For some reason, it's different on Sunday afternoon.
More hits occur later in the day.
Weekdays are bigger than Weekends etc., etc. But, so much for what I do know. What I don't know is a lot. Except for the numbers, and some feedback, I don't know anything about the News-Minute visitors. I don't know which links visitors prefer, which ones they hate.
