When to write your blog for the best audience

Posted on June 21, 2005

When does people read your blog?

Here is what I’ve noticed:

  • The number of readers is increasingly high in the first 2 days after posting an article
  • People bookmark the blogs or use the RSS feedreader to read the posts when they have time. Therefore you can expect in an increase of visitors on Friday afternoon - maybe 30% more visitors.
  • They are most likely going to use RSS feeds to read your blog than anything else

Therefore my advice is:

  • Write often
  • Write interesting things so people bookmark your site
  • Write in the middle of the week to reach most readers on Friday

    Good tips! The timing thing makes sense.

    All my RSS readings take two hours per day, minimum. I don’t always enjoy getting up two hours earlier to read everything, so maybe I’ll have time this weekend. Sigh.
