I guess it's somewhat interesting that AdWords can confirm what are good titles and what aren't but I could've told you at the outset that the first two titles are vague meaningless titles that won't draw anyone's attention. "The last frontier in payments"? Really? I know I wouldn't read that because it sounds like marketing BS.

Also, reaching the front page on the weekend has a lower barrier to entry. I see posts with 13 votes hang around for hours.

It's true they hang around for more but it's also probably harder to gain those 13 votes.

Yup, this is exactly what I've found. Weekends are harder to get votes on, but the posts last much longer once they get traction.

As duiker mentioned, getting those 13 votes is likely quite a bit harder. HN on the weekends is a pretty insufferable place to be, and the activity present seems less like the type to be surfing /new and making quality discussion so much as it appears to be the sort of mob who runs around making pithy snark, and upvoting others who engage in like behavior.
