Just wondering if anyone has any opinion on whether it would be more advantageous to post to your blog at certain times of the day versus others. (Traffic-wise.) One of my blogs, I'm trying to update everyday. I sometimes write a post in WP ahead of time and schedule it to be posted the following day: I usually choose about 7AM, but was wondering if there would be a better time? Most days I post basically whenever I get around to writing something, usually in the afternoon or evening. Do you all schedule your posts to be published at a more strategic time? And in the same vein, even if I post to my blog everyday, should I save the "best" posts for the beginning/middle of the week?
I read somewhere that the main thing is to be consistent when you post, that way people who visit regularly know when to expect something new.
I get a lot of new traffic when i post early on Sunday morning, especially when I am talking politics. When I post on my music blog, I get more traffic Tue, Wed, and Thu if I post before 6 p.m. EST. I don't think everyone will get the same results since demographics are different from blog to blog, but as was said, being consistent is the most important.
If you post daily: - Posting earlier in the day allows you to reach all of your readers that hit the site If you don't post daily: - Posting earlier in the week allows you to reach all of your readers that hit the site during that week Also I agree with SEOVICE that if you do post constantly to attempt to keep it consistent on times as you build a heavier readership.
Posting time is not important for me as i am posting at my blog whenever any new ideas comes in my mind which i think to share with others, thats all. DON.
Not really, unless your topic is current events, or daily news. If so the earlier EST the better. If not, regular frequency is more important. Don't post everyday for 3 months, and then take 2 weeks off, like a lot of new bloggers do when the mony isn't rolling in.
Whenever you're thinking of new idea, that's the best time to blog, doesn't matter if you're on bed or in the bathroom.
I don't think so, not unless there's a very big event worldwide like Obama's proclamation speech and your topic is about cat food. Anyway, here is the latest post from Daily Blog Tips and it talks about this topic - http://www.dailyblogtips.com/are-you-throwing-away-readers-by-posting-at-the-wrong-time/
i agree that posting time is not that important. what's important is that when you have an idea, you write your blog and post it
