Blade TV Series (http://www.bladetvseries.com)

One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed about blogging for a television series is how much of a pattern the visitor counts follow. With Blade: The Series airing on Wednesday nights, Thursdays prove to be the day I get over double my average number of visitors. Similarly, Wednesdays and Fridays seem to carry a residual amount, making those two days consistently above average as well.

It doesn’t even really matter what I post about on those days, they always seem to be the most frequently visited. As such, I’ve made sure to post my popular episode recaps early on Thursdays when I was previously waiting until Friday or Saturday to post them. I’ve been trying to publish good posts on the slower days, but they still don’t seem to attract near the attention as the previously mentioned days.

I think a strong reason for this is because much of my traffic is from search engines, and as such, most people do their Blade searches near the air date of the new episode. This obviously isn’t a surprise, but it’s still amazing just how much of a boost it is.

I will say that I’ve learned a lot from my short time covering a television show. It’s not at all like my other projects and it’s definitely a challenge staying on top of everything. I will also say that so far it’s a blast as the community behind the show has been very engaging and supportive.
