When to publish blog posts for increased popularity
Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on May 5, 2008 at 10:23 AM
A US software developer, Jake Luciani, has determined the best days and times to publish blog posts, analyzing the connection between timing and popularity on social bookmarking sites such as Del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit and Mixx.
The conclusions are straightforward: Thursdays are the best day, and the best times are between 1pm and 3pm PST (after lunch) or between 5pm and 7pm PST (after work). The worst times to post are between 3pm and 5pm PST on weekends.
Although these results are intuitive, this informal study can serve as a useful reminder to bloggers. On the other hand, it can also further lead to popularity-driven editing.
For his experiment, Luciani used popularity ranking engine AideRSS. For more details about the methodology, which is subject click below.
Times in the graphs are GMT.
