What time are most people online?

[Andrea]

I need a little help. I'm trying to figure out what time are most people online. Based from your own web site stats, what time do people usually purchase online and what day of the week, and also, for what particular sites?

According to some, it's usually after dinner time that they do online purchases. But for some merchants, it's usually during office hours that they get several transactions.

I'd appreciate your inputs.

I think you should consider time zones when doing business online. You may check when the business hours starts and ends, It is really important to note the time zone and how it differs from your time zone..

I've been maintaining a couple of sites for a time now, and based on the sales generated, the usual times occur after dinner, normally between 6 pm and 10 pm. I hope this helps your inquiring minds, Andrea.

tricky question , because i think it must be depending upon the fact that online it is day for the half of the world and night for the other . So i think the traffic might be constant on the whole . And i think it depends a lot on people to people . their professions and lifestyles too . Like a normal office going person can be online all day in the office , back home etc . A student almost goes online during nights etc and home makers during the day . So there is no one answer to that .
