Trust is an amazingly powerful attribute for anything on the web. We have to praise the search engineers for making the intangible tangible. Heidi, there is indeed <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/new_study_shows_best_and_worst.php" rel="nofollow">a right and a wrong time to post new articles</a>, which Kate & I have been perfecting...

Heidi, there is indeed a right and a wrong time to post new articles, which Kate & I have been perfecting…

The timing was great on this thing. I knew I wasn't going to have time to write about Plurk that first day, but even writing about it a week later, and not being quite as proactive with the marketing, it has still gotten over 1,000 direct page views and 39 Diggs. While that may not be a lot in the grand scheme, I get Stumbled more often than Dugg, so for my site that is a big number. I've also been thinking about timing on a micro level. For instance, if I finish a blog entry late Sunday night I usually don't post it on Pownce, Facebook, Plurk etc. until Monday at lunch. My thought is that it is more likely to be seen then when you folks in Europe are ending the day, the U.S. East Coasters are eating lunch and the U.S. West coasters are starting their day. I've not been able to fully quantify this theory but I have seen things posted on weekends get lost in the mix by Monday. Is the timing of your promotion within the day a factor you consider as well? Wayne,

LOL, Funny thing is I was totally right in the middle of all that (I know I blogged about it and stumbled the post), so it's double powerful now that I can look back and see the trust and presence you were building for long term success on that search term. Very nice job indeed and thanks for sharing the steps to "close the loop". Nice study Wayne!
