Despite the Internet being a global network, the US has traditionally dominated. This is in part due to the prevalence of American web surfers. However, the US market has become saturated. Developing nations are spawning the next generation of web surfers, where a combination of improved urban economy and falling telecommunication costs has made internet cafes on every corner and even connections at home possible. This fundamental shift in demographics is dramatically altering the landscape of the Internet.

[...] YugaTech answered that for me! Abe Olandres tracked the stats logs of over 3,000 Filipino blogs listed in Pinoy Top Blogs. [...]

abe, thanks so much for this. I think I had an idea that Philippine-based readers for my blog, Filipina Soul, read the blog when I’m asleep, but it helps to narrow down those hours to right before midnight USA time.

If most of my readers are from the Philippines that means I’ll have to publish my posts at midnight. Hehe

@Dave – cool tool! Thanks for sharing.

Did I miss something Abe? The time zone? I guess I should assume this chart is Philippine Standard Time … GMT +8?

On my blogs, which have mostly US, European and Australian readers, in the order, my two peak times are:

0900 GMT 5:00 AM NYC 5:00 PM MNL 7:00 PM Sydney
2100 GMT 5:00 PM NYC 5:00 Am MNL 7:00 AM Sydney

Those who are “courting” international readers might like to try setting their blog on GMT and using the really neat “Meeting Planner” tool on http://www.timeanddate.com to plan their best posting times as if they were “meeting” with their readers. I have no idea how scientific this is, but it makes me feel as if I’m planning somehting anyway

however in my blog’s case, the stats is not really accurate because there are times that the button of the PinoyTopBlogs hadn’t downloaded especially if the Adbrite ads in my blog experienced problems.

One plausible cause that I can see here is because most high school/college students also have most of their classes in the morning, which explains why there’s less Internet traffic. When I was still in college, I’ve noticed that the best time to rent a computer in an Internet cafe is in the morning, where most of the shops are virtually empty. (That is, if there are open Internet cafes as early as 7.)

For the most part, some of us may even be stuck in real-life road traffic in the morning
