Lorelle has a great post (also old) that talks about ideal posting time of the day.  For me, I’m going for posts any time of the day I can write them.  I figure it’s best to get the content online asap for Google and searchers.  The quicker it’s online, the quicker it gets indexed.  The quicker my unique content gets indexed the faster it shows up in the search engine ranking pages (SERPs) and the quicker I start making money from it.

For me, the ideal time is ASAP.

Lorelle has a different idea and I must say, my ideas aren’t based on any specific research like Lorelle’s are, so take that for what it is.

Lorelle VanFossen says, ”

I have several blogs on various and diverse topics, so you would expect their traffic patterns to be different. They were not. They were fairly consistent across all of the blogs. This is what I learned.

  • The highest traffic in a month comes in the first and third weeks of a month, with more hits during the end half of a month.
  • The highest traffic days of the week are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
  • The highest traffic in an average day comes during 0800 - 1400 PST (1300 - 1800 GMT).
  • Most comments are posted between 0900 - 1400 PST (1400 - 1800 GMT).
  • People are more likely to comment on a post on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.”

That is great to know, although I think I’ll stick with my “get it online as quick as possible schedule”, I think many people can benefit from slowing down and taking a look at when your having traffic highs and coordinating that with your posting schedule.
