The time of the week should not be random but you should research a bit and experiment. You should check your analytics and know the region from where you get the most of your traffic.

What the SEO experts teach is to carry out bookmarking of the blog pages or the articles in the article directories in order to get them linked by the social bookmarking websites like Stumble Upon or Digg.
