Best day for the hot topic?

1 replies
I've been studying my analytics this week, and I have come up with a question.

If you have one killer topic to blog about in a week, and several other topics, which is the best day to roll out the big hitter?

These are my thoughts:

Monday - Not bad, but a lot of my visitors are at work when they view my posts, so they might be a bit busy catching up with work after the weekend on a Monday. Also might miss out on anyone who is taking a long weekend.

Tuesday - A good choice, especially if I add a lead in section to whatever I post on Monday.

Wednesday - Same as Tuesday. only slightly better, as this is the day of the week I can be sure that the post has maximum reach.

Thursday - Not as good as Tuesday or Wednesday, as there is always a percentage of people who don't pick up the post until the following day. So this means anyone taking Friday off for a long weekend will miss it.

Friday - Not so hot, people getting ready for the weekend, finishing things up at work. Also, will miss out on the people who usually pick up the post on day 2, as well as anyone taking a long weekend.

Saturday/Sunday - No, my analytics history tells me that weekends are far quieter than weekdays.

This is based on trends I have seen emerging in my traffic reports, and also the number of clicks goo.gl is telling me happened for shortened URL.

So my opinion is Wednesday would be the best day.

Anyone care to comment on this?

    Definitely Sunday! It's the First day of the week most other bloggers won't be updating their blogs Sunday. It's more likely just from my experience most people send their juiciest topics out on Monday, which puts you a step ahead my friend!

    All the best
