I have experimented what is the best time to publish viral article on Opera News. So, I published at 8 am, at 2 p.m, at 5 p.m., and at 01.00 am. The article I published at 5 pm and 01.00 am attracted more clicks. The article that I published at 8 am did not performed so well but the article published at 2 p.m. performed the worst.
Therefore, according to my experimentation, the best time to post your articles on Opera News is 5 pm and 01.00 am to drive more clicks to the article.
Remember, if you are in the news topic, post as soon as the news happens to avoid your content being rejected on accounts of duplicate content. Be the first to post because many writers are on news topics.
Also, you should perform your experiment on the best time that your content gets more clicks. But, posting at 17:00 hours and 01:00 hours attracted more traffic to my Opera articles giving it an early boost for more distribution.
