Will use another example. Getting to the front page of HN. How does one max the probability their article on the front page of HN? Submit interesting content. OK great. How do I get more traffic to my blog? Write good content. Those aren't useful answers. They're true, but everyone knows that already. Good content is a factor (among many - is my theory).
People have done (imo) pretty in-depth studies and research on the best day, time, subject lines, who submits - gives you the best probability you'll be on the front page. I'm just applying that concept to SO.
Maybe it makes absolutely no difference what day/time I post to HN. Same could be for SO, I would like to see proof before I accept that as fact. It's an experiment. Thanks for the feedback tho.

Okay, but do you realize what you're saying? If you don't want to hear that you need to produce more interesting content to win readers over, then you're asking for ways to play the system -- methods that go beyond (or beneath) the traditional approaches. > Those aren't useful answers. Yes, for a sufficiently broad definition of "useful", one that includes, or possibly requires, cute cat pictures.
