Re: 24x7 vs 24x7x365 Re: Constant Abuse Reports / Borderline Spamming from RiskIQ

[Owen DeLong <owen () delong com>]

24x7 is way more common, but does leave ambiguity as to holiday coverage. (there are some 24x7 businesses that close 
for holidays).

24x7x365 is on the rise as a way to specify that you’re open holidays too.

End of the day, I’m not sure it matters which one you use.

Likely any Google search for 24x7 would return the superset {24x7,24x7x365} while a search for 24x7x365 would return 
the subset {24x7x365}.

IANASEOE, but I suspect that in terms of SEO and general search, you’re probably better off with 24x7x365.
