According to the hugely popular URL Shortener Site BitLy, Tumblr does have an activity pattern that is predictable ahd behaves quite different from Facebook or Twitter, they recently show several charts displaying the number of clicks their bitly links get through different networks and times of the day where they receive the most traffic from those same networks.


Before you keep reading, the timezone shown in the graphic below is US EST (Eastern Standard Time), so make sure to adjust the hour to your own timezone, or better, to your demographics timezone.

The graphic above shows the days of the week on each row and the hours spread along the columns, starting with midnight.

So, what does the chart says about the best hour/time to publish posts?. Well, you sure at least wait until 4p.m. The optimal hours are between 7pm and 10 pm
