		<description>I started my blog only 2 weeks ago.  I&#039;ve been testing some times and also found that if I publish early, around 8, then I get more people reading the post.  Also shorter post do better. Personally I read  posts and decide in the 1st few lines if I will continue.  So, if the 1st paragraph doesn&#039;t grab me I will not read the rest.  Headings also say a lot.  I currently have 632 subscribers to my blog.</description>

		<description>Great advice, Madigan. Thanks for sharing.

I&#039;ve always admired the rigorous testing that many email marketers (such as yourself) apply to the process. But to my knowledge, that same level of testing hasn&#039;t fully been embraced in the blogosphere. I think many bloggers could achieve greater success by testing different headlines, post lengths, topics, and delivery options. I know I still have a long way to go.

It probably goes back to the key to all effective online marketing: test, test, test!</description>

		<description>Josiah,

Just like with email it pays to test.  We are continually testing what days and times are best for sending out emails and measuring opens, click-throughs and conversions.  Also test subject lines and offers.

The best time to post a blog depends on who you your primary target is.  What times produce the best traffic on a consistent basis - globally, US, Europe or wherever you are targeting.

Good post and thinking.

Madigan

PS - we have found it is not the best idea to have emails waiting for a person first thing in the am. They are too easy to delete as recipients try get to work.</description>
