All the PR agencies aim for 8 a.m. Eastern through Pacific to get the biggest impact. If you post in the same 3 hour period (or an hour early on the East Coast), you're bound to have the biggest audience.<br><br>If your targeted readership is ... Europe... then posting at 7 a.m. in the UK or Germany would be a good idea.</p>louisgrayThu, 01 Mar 2007 03:22:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2007/02/is-timing-important-element-for-blog.html#comment-429218177<p>But what about the time differences? Somebody posting at 7 am in So Cal vs somebody posting at 7 am in Sicily--I guess it would depend on your targeted readership?</p>Ballpoint WrenSat, 24 Feb 2007 18:58:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2007/02/is-timing-important-element-for-blog.html#comment-429218178<p>Which, maybe explains why I post before going to sleep: It's 7:00 am in the US! I guess I've been doing that unexpectedly, and thanks for pointin that out!</p>YuviThu, 22 Feb 2007 15:49:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2007/02/is-timing-important-element-for-blog.html#comment-429218180<p>You are right about the immediacy factor, especially when there is a breaking news. For example, if there is a new product released, the news becomes stale very quickly. In fact, the more one delays blogging about a new event, the more analysis/content that person should provide to overcome that disadvantage.</p>Krishna KumarMon, 19 Feb 2007 00:14:00 -0000
