This question might not be allowed but I am going to try... 

I have noticed that asking a question during certain times of the day will elicit much fewer responses then questions asked at peak hours of the day. If I have a question that didn't get much traffic, I didn't get an answer I was looking for, and now is getting towards the bottom of the "Stack" so few people are looking at it, how can I get more traffic to my question? Is there a good way other than offering a bounty? I shouldn't have to sacrifice my points should I?
