That’s a good question – I’ve wondered about timing myself. I tend to post at night because I have a full time office job, but occasionally I’ll do a post midday. It seems like posting at night is just as well as most of the responses to that post will come throughout the day following. The kind of blog I have does not allow for writing ahead of time like Tanya’s (who I met Saturday night at a NY blogger meetup!).

On a different topic, I would love to monitor my blog’s traffic so I can get a sense of its readership and stats, but sadly I’m not sure how to go about it. Any recommendations?

I usually post when I post, but lately I’ve started having a sort of schedule to my daily posts (Monday I post my fitness rotation for the week, Tuesday I do polls,etc.) so if I have a review written on a Tuesday I schedule it to post on Thursday (when I do my reviews). I don’t go much further ahead than that, though.

Roni, I think because you post about what’s going on in your life, and so often, that it doesn’t seem to matter what time of day anyone visits, because anything they’ve missed won’t be that old anyway. Personally, I prefer the improptu posts about anything that’s going on versus the pre-written, because it’s going to be more of the real you, which is half of what makes the blog interesting. Just my two cents. :)

I actually usually write about my day at the end of the day, but I save the posts and then hit “Publish” the next morning. I usually do that because I don’t have time to write a whole post in the morning. Sometimes I will post and publish right away though, like on Saturdays. It just depends on when I have time.

My web trackers report that my blog traffic is at it’s highest between 1-3 PM and 7 PM. I blog about cupcakes. That kinda explains it. Afternoon cravings and after dinner desires. I always try to have new content up by noon.

My blog readers are worldwide. Many are from Australia and New Zealand. They are online from midnight California time through late morning my time. There’s no way to keep up with everybody.

I usually post early morning and space out 3-4 posts by noon. I blog according to my schedule. Cupcake news never goes stale. Even if post something a few days after it made the usual rounds, my readers still stop by to check out my daily postings.

I write at night and post live at midnight eastern time. By the time I wake up, I often have comments from my Asian/European readers. And then once I get to work, I notice the readership increases … and another bump around noon (which is 9 on the west coast).
