You might wonder what the busiest times on twitter are, so you can then time your important tweets to give them the best chance of being seen by more of your followers.
Well, over the past couple of months I have received a LOT of visitors to my websites via twitter, I have charted them below showing how many visitors came at what hour of the day.
The time is set to Pacific Time, to see the difference between pacific time and your time zone, click here.
As you can see, I got most of my referrals from twitter between 1pm and 2pm.
But going on this data, it looks as though posting any time from 9am to 3pm will give you the best chance of getting exposure and traffic from twitter.
The chart shows how you could be cutting your chances of getting exposure on twitter in half depending on when you post your tweets.
Now, I think I’ll wait about 10 hours before I let my followers know about this new blog post! 
Have you noticed any particular times or days when twitter seems most busy?

Great chart on plotting the traffic volume on Twitter! I want to offer that with Twitter, we’re able to provide value instantly and share the value to other people’s spheres of influence through RT’ing.
If readers want to know how a small business can engage on Twitter, I published a lengthy blog entry on it:

Thanks again for sharing this data. I’m sure many folks will be interested.

Interesting…when most people work, they use Twitter! Good to know. My company blocks Twitter at the firewall, so I’m screwed. Guess I’ll have to find a new employer!

This is very interesting chart and I did not know there is having which is the best time to tweet for maximum twitter traffic and exposure. I will test mine.
Thanks

Hi Gary
This is very interesting and useful.
I live in the UK and have two of the same Widget on my desktop which give me the times in PST and EST. Tis makes it really easy for me to set the times of my Tweets and other mailouts, hopefully so I catch people when they get home in the evenign after work. (Well, that’s my thinking.)
Your chart is going to be really helpful from now on. Thanks a million.

Does anyone know what is the best auto software to do tweets free or paid? What about software that generates followers? Thanks
March 22nd, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Surely this data is subject to the topic and content of your post, the geography and demographics.
Would it not be better to target an audience rather than a mass following with out any data other than fellow Tweeters
March 22nd, 2009 at 9:15 pm
good one Gary, i’ve been looking for exactly this data!
March 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Wow! that’s an awesome experiment! now i know what’s the best time to expose my experience, tips & blog posts
thanks, man!
March 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 pm
I’m glad that I got your email about this post. Since I’m EST, I’m thankful for the tool to change to EST. This is good stuff and will help me in TWEETING. Thanks: David

All useful information to generate Twitter traffic – certainly a more scientific use of Twitter can vastly increase traffic, as we’ve found using WebTrafficRules

Love your tips and great post. I will be monitoring my tweets to send during these times.
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:15 am
Hi,
it is interesting to learn about time frames on twitter use. But, a much more important issue is to get followers. I’ve been twittering for 2 months now and only have a hundred or so visitors. Thus I wonder where Gary got these huge amounts of followers from? I mean, he gets up to 15,000 hits at best times which means he’s got to have some 30,000 followers at least. How do you get that many followers?
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:56 pm

March 25th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Interesting post Gary and I will certainly look into and analyse response against time but surely if you have a bank of twitter followers from all over the world then it’s not so important.
I can understand the need for targetting using your own time-zone but it has no real effect if you have a multi-national follow-base. Unless I’ve missed something here!?
March 26th, 2009 at 3:10 am
I have been keeping track myself, for me I get the best results between 3-4PM Pacific Time, however I also do alright between 11-12 noon.
March 28th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Sometimes there are too many stats for personal use, and this is one of those stats. At least in case you don’t have someone who is tweeting for you. Interesting for businesses though, as they can obtain maximum exposure.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:59 am
I just did a survey of 120ish Twitter users: http://www.malcolmcoles.co.uk/blog/best-time-tweet/ which might be of interest. It found:
* Half of people read every tweet.
* At 4pm-5pm, 56% of Twitter users are looking at tweets, but only 39% are sending them – a margin of 17%.
* Weekend Twitter users are much more likely to be tweeting than weekday Twitter users who often just browse tweets.
* As a proportion of all tweets, use of the term RT (for retweet) is highest at 4pm.
And lots of other things too!
April 9th, 2009 at 2:06 am
Some excellent info there Malcolm, thanks.
April 21st, 2009 at 10:23 am
Gary,
Surely this needs to take into account the timezone in which the majority of one’s first and second degree network exist? If (for example) the majority are on CET (for Europeans) or GMT/BST (for the UK) ones charts will differ significantly?
Why are you recording PST rather than BST for your own research?
April 21st, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Hey Matt – I’ve just been using the default timezone setting in my web analytics program.
April 21st, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Hi!
I follow you on Twitter and, in fact, signed up for your TweeterGetter when it first came out.
Anyway, I just caught a post by someone else I follow that was promoting http://mynewtweeps.com/, which seems like a direct knockoff of tweetergetter.
Don’t know what you can do about it– if anything. But, I thought you should know. I did point it out in a response to the person– and mentioned that Tweeter Getter came out months ago.

Hi,
Yea there are a few clones, thats the first I’ve heard of that one but thats is I think the 5th clone I’ve come across.
I don’t mind so much really, tweetergetter is the original and will always be the most popular. The clones will find it hard to gain momentum.
Gary.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:14 am
Could someone please tell me how to delete this, I did at that to my twitter and now I dont want it because people are following me that I dont want to follow me:-(((( HELP PLEASE SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but your timer is off. I just left a comment and it said it was 5:06 PM. Here in Chicago it’s 12:07PM.
May 5th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
No idea. Check the times under each tweet on her page.
May 5th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
I think the timer is set to GMT, my time, here in the UK.

Hi, after checking this results (what an exposure), there is absolutely no reason to figure out at what time to post. Even midnight is great! This schedule tells you everything. Additionally put time zones into consideration. Twitter does a good job for all of us.

I was wondering about this stuff… Especially when you have hundreds or thousands of followers, your tweets can get lost in the sea of tweets.
Great info – thanks!

May 30th, 2009 at 4:46 am
This is some great info. I always wondered when Twitter was the busiest! I suppose that means you should schedule your Tweets closer together during the middle of the day… then less frequent early morning and evening.
Hmmmm…. interesting…

I like your research, that many clicks is excellent throughout the whole period. Did you use the same subject throughout?
How many days did you study? I’m assuming it wasn’t so many thousands for a single post.

June 17th, 2009 at 5:10 am
Hi Paul,
Its all the traffic I generated from twitter over several Months.
They didn’t all come in from my posts on my twitter account, they came from other people also tweeting about my site to their followers too.
Like they can do with the ‘retweet’ button on the top of this post.
Gary.

Thanks Gary! Your stats are quite encouraging and it’s good to know certain times are better than others. Also seeing a spike at 5 AM which is Pacific time, means more people in the eastern standard time zone which is 8 am EST are twittering.

Looks like for your followers anywhere from between 5am to 9pm is an okay time for you to Tweet if you’re looking to get the most exposure for your tweets. Tx for the diagram.

August 13th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Interesting article. I’m 9 hours ahead and I would have to spend almost the whole night to make it right
Well that’s something I will not do, everyone need to sleep from time to time. Tweeting should not take our dreams from us! I’m joking 
I mean that tweeting is something that should not be done without head. Inviting everyone to follow a blog could be more harmful than helpful. That is my opinion.
August 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Great Post. Does this apply to blog posting too?
August 17th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
between 9:00 – 13:00 are the most visited hours.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:58 am
OK so that 2am – 8am Sydeny time. Lucky I’m a night person.

September 30th, 2009 at 8:22 am
Awesome post, to get the most traffic out from Twitter you should use good hash tags, they are much beneficial. Though Time Does matters but most of the people search for trending topics and keywords.
Time of posting links is agood point while getting most out from there.
October 3rd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
An excellent way to build a twitter following organically. Great post
October 4th, 2009 at 2:50 am
Great! Thanks for the stats! I’ll be adding the website to: Free-Twitter-Tips.com
October 4th, 2009 at 10:11 am
WOW! That’s a lot of traffic from twitter. I think I’ll be sending my blog posts out on twitter during these ‘high times’ from now on.
October 4th, 2009 at 11:31 am
I’ve noticed the same thing. Traffic is up between 10 AM to 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Could be the break times people take at work and the lunch break (and return). It’s been a boon to my business!

Your article is very interesting, but I found it difficulties to find many followers in twitter.

Gary,
Great post about Twitter. Sometimes I feel like my post go unnoticed. It must have something to do with the time of day.

Thanks for the info. Our web design firm has incorporated the twitter web widget into our current homepage, which is flash and html. It easily integrated into our existing website. Everyone is excited about how we can use this as a tool. This can be a big advantage, and if its free…well that’s even better.

This is great Gary!
During those hours, how many times should I post in twitter? Or if I wish to utilize the whole day, how many times should I post? Thanks…
February 12th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
It looks like mid day central time gets you a little more timely eyeballs.

Great post. Your data is consistent with several others that I have researched concerning the best times to tweet in order to maximum responses. I have summarized my findings http://drivingonlinesales.com/?p=362 and linked back to you.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:19 am
Terrific data, thank you for sharing, have linked to you from my blog article about the best time of day and ideal number of tweets per day. VERY impressive traffic you’re getting too by the way! Well done
March 7th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Now I know the best time to tweet
Thanks for the share bro
March 8th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Great article and something that’s not available in Australia.
I will be retweeting this post.
March 8th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Great post! Have you got any similar reports for 2010? It would be great to see as Twitter has gone from 300,000 tweets per day to (now) 50 million! I’d be interested in whether it has the reverse effect where as there are now more users and it’s more active may mean less exposure as a tweet can easily go unnoticed.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Thank you for the “Best Time To Tweet” post. This will be very helpful in scheduling my tweets via twitterfeed @glencumbie (I will auto follow back).. link swap too if interested.
Thanks again,
Glen

Excellent information! Thanks! And thanks to “How to make…” for clarifying the time zone!
March 17th, 2010 at 6:10 am
Im really getting into maximizing twitter for my client at http://www.twitter.com/autoxpressmd and this was one post that helps us push even further with twitter.
Some people are saying that “twitter will take over email marketing?”
What do you guys think??
March 17th, 2010 at 8:50 am
This is great infomation. I use Social Oomph to time my tweets so that they hit Twitter at around 10 am or 1pm Pacific Time.
March 28th, 2010 at 2:23 am
It looks to me that Gary got pretty even and flowing traffic all day long from 8 am to 10 pm EST. So basically from the time people wake up and start logging online until the general time frame people head to bed is the best times to tweet but also concentrating on the largest time periods like 4-5pm when the most people clicked the link. I still plan to add some tweets during the lower times because there are still night owls like me online at that time that would miss the tweets done during the busier daytime hours.
Thanks Gary for all your articles and valuable info.

Thanks for this great info. We have always wondered when its the best time to use twitter and I think this has already helped us. We use Twitter and Youtube to promote our website that sells tutorials on How to Make Video Games
Thanks!

August 3rd, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Thank you for posting this! I’m going to have a Twitter book launch party on August 31 for my latest romance novel, and I was trying to decide what time I should hold the party. We’re going to do an online scavenger hunt! The book is called Finding Perfect, so I’m going to ask my tweeps to “find the perfect…” whatever. I have to work out the points system to figure out who the winner will be. Or maybe I’ll have multiple winners throughout the hour. That would be fun!
Thanks again.

Nice tips. Thanks for the sharing. Very detailed stats
September 21st, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Oh wow, those are some impressive numbers.
Are those all from one day ?? month ?
September 23rd, 2010 at 2:09 am
@jayNERD – The traffic all came in over a period of several months.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:29 am
I think that you are right. Timing is critical for success. We shouldn’t be tweeting when most people are working or asleep
no point..
September 29th, 2010 at 10:17 am
Hi Gary, thank you for the useful info. I now have my calander set to remind me to post every day between 1 and 2 pm, lets see how it turmns out…

November 29th, 2010 at 5:07 am
Very interesting! I was wondering about this. 9am to 3pm would make the most since. People are at work, and it peaks around lunch time when people are taking breaks.
November 30th, 2010 at 5:32 am
Hey! that is really a great article, I will sure help me out to get traffic to my article or web page, thanks dear.

You will only get those sort of numbers if you have a huge following.
I just checked yours and you have over 38,000.

Great advice! Very helpful. Thank you.
January 14th, 2011 at 5:30 am
I just wonder why you didn’t just put the information here. I was referred to this page expecting actionable information.
February 3rd, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Gary – Would you be able to give an update with some current stats? Also, this is whn you’re getting lots of traffic but, if more people were to start tweeting during these times, wouldn’t it be more likely for one’s tweet to be missed in the flood?
February 3rd, 2011 at 7:27 pm
It’s very interesting to see the breakdown of traffic vs. time. It of course makes sense that the midday hours would generate the most traffic…just think of all the time “wasted” in offices around the world as employees keep up to date on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Thanks for an insightful post!
February 4th, 2011 at 1:19 am
Thank you for sharing this info with us… I was just wondering what time was best for sending tweets… So I now know that lunch time and evenings are the winners… ;o)
February 6th, 2011 at 9:40 pm
Many thanks for this information
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:34 pm
Great post. Did you by chance track the vistor location and timezone too? It’d give you a great idea of time for target markets.
March 6th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
still don’t understand
March 17th, 2011 at 10:24 pm
Have you looked at whether doing it on the hour or at odd times makes a difference?
March 29th, 2011 at 3:23 am
Hi Gary, can you explain your guide using picture?
April 14th, 2011 at 4:54 am
This is very interesting chart and I did not know there is having which is the best time to tweet for maximum twitter traffic and exposure.
April 24th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
I find the best time to tweet is between 1pm to 2pm and also between 8pm to 10pm. The re-tweets happen more at night. The best way to find out when the best time to get re-tweets is to sending on a regular basis and see what times work out best for you.
April 26th, 2011 at 6:49 am
Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user’s profile page.
May 14th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Great post! I usually link my stories to twitter right after I write them. Now I know it’s best to wait till night time.
May 21st, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I find the best time to tweet is between 1pm to 2pm and also between 8pm to 10pm. The re-tweets happen more at night.
May 28th, 2011 at 4:15 am
Late morning / early afternoon Pacific time
June 3rd, 2011 at 1:26 am
I think the best time to tweet is when you have a content update. Don’t tweet to promote your product every minute. That will be annoying to some.
June 5th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Oh!! Very interesting post – Might be old new, but it was new to me. Thanks.

Very informative sir, This actually helped me alot …thnx for this kind of informative post…
July 5th, 2011 at 10:45 am
just before lunchtime by the looks of things. I always used to tweet around 10-12 so im glad that im getting exposure at this time! Maybe i should vary my tweet times… this way i will tweet to people that don’t go on twitter before lunchtime.
July 21st, 2011 at 1:27 am
wow! groovy! I wanted to check this out cause I needed a specific timing to tweet my Advertiser’s offers! Thanks Buddy
