In my previous post I reviewed which days of the week get the most page views on craigslist. Surprisingly, Saturday has the least number of page views. Sunday through Wednesday receive the most page views.
I've been tracking page views on craigslist since February 4th and have almost 150,000 page views over the past 11+ weeks. Some definite trends can be identified regarding the times of day that receive the most page views. If you post your listings just before or during these times you'll likely have more people viewing your posts, since they'll be near the top of the first page.
Not surprisingly, midnight to 8:00 am have the least page views. Page views pick up between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm and then surge in the evening. Peak hours are between 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm., dropping substantially after 11:00 pm. The hour by hour numbers are shown below:
