I was chatting with Darren from ProBlogger on Twitter a few days ago, and after noticing that posts on his ProBlogger blog and also his Twitip blog were posted at similar times of the day (1-2pm GMT/8-9am EST), I asked him what his motivation was behind posting at this time.

The nature of Twitter meant his response was short and sweet, but it boils down to him determining that to be the best time of the day to post to his blogs. The UK is arriving back to the office just after lunch, the US and Canada is just waking up and arriving in their offices, and Australia is settling down during the late evening. In a sense, the top three sources of traffic for (most) blogs are awake and more often than not, at their computers.

This short conversation with Darren got me wondering whether there were any trends as to what time of day bloggers publish articles, and actually whether many bloggers put any thought in to the time they write, or whether they just publish as and when they finish writing. That’s what this weeks poll is about. Please feel free to add your vote below.

Personally, I tend to post between early and late evening GMT. I’ve found this to be the best time for my audience, but I’m sure it’s different for other bloggers.

What time do you publish posts? Have you put any thought in to your publish time, or do you publish as and when you finish writing? Please let us know in the comments!
