    At the minute, in a day I spend around 10 minutes lol.

    I haven't had the time in the past two months to touch my websites, so most have either being sold or just lost rankings, traffic etc.

    On good day, 4-5 hours (that includes things like creating and posting/submitting content). On a bad day 1.5 - 1 hour. The way I manage it is by blocking off 2 hour chunks of time where I focus only on site promotion. (no e-mail, web surfing, phone, etc..no distractions).

    Not nearly enough, too many distractions, too much procrastination, too much aimless surfing.

    Any tips or resources on procrastination are welcome....

    Three hours a day I would say.

    Although some things aren't directly marketing but would be increasing my online presence so it's hard to say. I spend a lot of time experimenting with different techniques.

    Got to find the best one to stick with I Guess.

    Right now, I like to spend about 1 hour a night promoting. But on the flip side of that we are a web development company, so we spend alot of time placing bids and actually working on projects.

    The project alone are a good way for us to market and promote our business as well, but as far as actually marketing, forum posting, blogging and stuff of that nature about 1 hour every night.

    That is the reason I have my link building activities outsourced. I concentrate more on online advertising. It takes around 2 hours in a day.
