Eloi has captured data every hour for the past two weeks in order to compile a good, up to date, illustrated, informative analysis of Sphinn traffic and posting times. They should help understand how Sphinn is used, and when to post in order to give maximum exposure to your story.

@StOn3y

Yes I am now working on collecting the data from the US, and will post a second in the series about Sphinns US audiences. Let me know if you have any specific ideas/requests about trends you would like to see included in the next post, and I will do my best.

Well... I expect the sphinn community wil now all set their post to appear at the optimum time-- which will shift the time! :)

Of course the other possibility is that Eloi fixed the study results 2hrs ahead, we all start submiting at that time and they get a home run during the real optimum time. /evil mind ;)

Or maybe we thought you'd think that Nick and then moved it back. The old double bluff!

Seriously though it's from UK GMT time, I think we'll update it today with US times, any requests for other times?

>any requests for other times?

I'm Ok with adding 3hrs for Moscow time. Thanks for the research guys, well deserved sphinn.

Now we just need Danny to post visitors per hour, so that we can figure out the actual best time to post. I assume we're all trying to optimize for traffic, Sphinns, or comments, and not "time on the page."
