This graphic is interesting. I blog on Tuesday and Friday. I avoid posting on Mondays because it seems that LOTS of blogs post on Monday. I feel that my post gets buried in email inboxes. On the other hand, I wonder if the Friday post gets less attention because it may end up sitting in the inbox over the weekend, and buried once again.
Perhaps, I should think optimistically: that all my subscribers are waiting anxiously for my posts and read them immediately.
Very interesting stats. I try to be consistent with my blog times–Tuesday and Friday, generally out at 8:00 a.m (EST). I may try an occasional Monday or Thursday and see what happens.
