    The timing of the various posts has to coinside with the presence of your target audiance. if you are targeting some page for UK, keep the time differance between US and UK in mind to post.

    I think there is no good time, every moment is a good time, so if you want to promote some product it is good to post on an interval bassis

    Three biggest countries for me are US, England and Australia. That's where most of my readers are from. I found that I can post at just about any time of the day and night, and it will get some sort of reaction.

    Actually I think there is no best time for it.But it should be kept in mind that the quality of the post is better.

    See your traffic where it is coming from. Or The people who are mostly active on social media under your network. Know their local timings and share your posts according to that time.

    I guess this is relative to your target audience. For me I get best results when I post every Thursdays and Tuesdays compared to all other days of the week. :)

    I think it is best to post mid morning. That way when everyone is getting up and checking there posts they see what you have posted right away and have all day to think about it>

    If you want your posts to reach a higher audience, I recommend you to do some research about your targeted users. Find out some of their characteristics and their online habits. You should know what they like to see on social networks and especially, when they like to see it. For example, if you want to reach stay at home mothers, you should try posting very early in the morning, or in the afternoon- when they’re most likely to have a few minutes to visit their social networks. Also, regarding your question about the sport blog, I recommend you to post before and after the game. You can offer relevant information about it before, and after the game you can post reviews, opinions, pictures etc. More importantly than when you post is being consistent. Always post at the same time each day, or always post before and after the game. That way your audience will know when to expect your posts and will start to anticipate your news!
    Good luck!;)

    I would recommend 11am in the morning, when most people start to wake up and get on their computers, check their Facebook and Twitter profiles for notifications. In fact, scientists have even proven this theory. It might seem ridiculous but you might want to try it :D

    i also think no time is the best for all sites. it depends on your target users and their time.
