I have noticed my revenue for AdSense is about 50% less on weekends compared to weekdays. Across the board on all my sites.

My software company revenue is 10% on weekends. Mostly businesses or people working buy my software so that makes sense.

Are there any genre of sites that preform better on weekends than weekdays? What trends do you notice?

I have observed the same trend. I guess life slows down on weekends.

On weekdays, I do okay.. and when Friday/Saturday hits, I rise a bit. Sunday has been the slowest for me so far.

I always found the weekends to be quite slow, ecspecially Sunday. I suppose it follows how people live their lives. If they're out and about on a weekend they're not on their computers, so less chance of you getting a click.

Noticed the same exact thing.

I think it is a mixture of your site content and the time of year. For example, if you have a proxy site, during the summer your traffic will probably be down but during the school months you might see a spike in traffic. This spike will probably be during the weekdays, as that is when the kids will be looking to use a proxy, and lower on the weekends when the kids are at home. During the summer, it will probably be a pretty even distribution across all days.

It's good to identify these trends so that you can plan your best articles, etc. for days when you think that traffic will be the best, and maybe relax a bit on your lower traffic days.

Personally, my adsense earnings are pretty consistent. And low. :P

Monday-Friday are pretty stable for me, the weekends are either real low or real high, but never average like Mon-Fri.

Just wondering... but is this in the wrong forum? Should it be in the contextual advertising forum?

I believe that the fact that your adsense drops on the weekends is that people tend to take the day off and go out.. Picnic, bike adventures, movies, dinner etc..
