What is the best time to publish your post?

Today I was going through one of the posts on bloggerbuster when one of the posts there drew my attention.The blogpost was about the time of publishing the post.Although I knew that blog posting time does affects traffic to some extent but I have never researched on the topic.

According to the facts and research results written there the best time to publish on a blog is 10 am to 2 pm PST (Pacific standard time). This time correlates with the time when online users are most active in US.

If your visitors come from some other part of the world you can calculate the the best time to publish accordingly.These results are based on a research carried out by Jake Luciani and was done by analyzing about 10,000 entries from social bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious ,Reddit and Mixx.

While going through the research results I came across an astonishing fact.According to Luciani the worst time to publish your posts is on weekends between 3pm and 5 pm. Earlier most of the bloggers including me were of the opinion of publishing during weekends as less blogs are updated during this time.So, the facts coming out from Luciani's research came as a surprise for me.

But Luciani has supported his point with nice graphs and charts which you can find here.Further details can be found here.
