I've been trying to do 3-4 content (non-roundup) posts during the week, then my offbeat stuff and rants (if I have some from my co-writers or me personally) go up on the weekend.  The offbeat stuff seems to get a decent amount of SE love over time, so I think that part works, at least.

 

Lisa – yeah, I have been going around the forums and finding people to follow, haha.  I'll follow you now!

However. If you are interested in checking out what the best (predicted) times are for posting your status updates on Twitter, I often use Timely - http://timely.is - which is a very cool (free) service... somewhat like Hootsuite or Tweetdeck, but more flexible in that you can add as many Twitter accounts as you'd like, and it will either post immediately or schedule them for the best time based upon your followers and their stats. It's a fun tool. 

I think the most important thing we can all do is support one another in RT's, @ Replies, and in promoting each across our social networks.

BTW - while we're at it, can we toss out another "connect with me" spiel...? I'm always trying to add my Yakezie partners as I browse the forums!  :)

I notice that Friday is actually one of my best days of traffic and a lot of it comes through Facebook on these days. Everybody getting all social for the weekend perhaps??

Tonight reminds me of another point... special occasions (i.e. valentine's day, halloween, etc.) are often not high traffic days due to the other commitments. Agree?

My traffic yesterday actually held up pretty well compared to most Mondays.

I really don't see the point of worrying about what time a post should go live.

I say, when your post is ready, publish it. The earlier you publish it, it will get indexed quicker and start showing up in Google searches. That's what you really want, right?

As far as your subscribers are concerned, they will get to ready it sometime anyway. It doesn't have to be the minute you publish it. 

 

 

Generally true. I have only seen difference in terms of traffic from PFBlogs.org. If you post early morning, traffic from this is almost none. on the other hand if you post in afternoon or evening, when new posts don't usually come, you'll get more hits. 

 

I see traffic increase four times a day, Early morning, During Eastern lunch time, during west coast lunch time and during 9PM to 1 AM eastern. Any one else notice this pattern?

Otherwise, I just post it when it's ready.
