And not just during the day. There are long term, seasonal shifts that occur. Lately, for instance, I've been promoting an Australian real estate affiliate program by distributing flyers through Sydney. I'd had some good results with this in the past. But very recently I have had next to no response with this method. I suspect it's got something to do with the very cold weather we've been having here lately. Maybe it just makes people less curious and decisive? Yes, timing is very important. And not just during the day. There are long term, seasonal shifts that occur.

I think I'll tweet it. The ice cream man also plays a loud jingle, which can usually be heard from afar... so you can usually start to think about ice cream before he arrives. Mmmm.... ice cream ;) Sorry, I get easily distracted. By the way, quick tip: You should add retweet links to your posts, so I can click once and retweet it. (See retweetlink.com/?tt=report for an explanation.) That would make my life so much easier. Now I'm off to manually retweet this post... <abbr><em>Paul Hancox (.com)’s last blog post..<a href="http://paulhancox.com/alleged-humor/dear-mr-or-ms-automated-twitter-following-bot/" rel="nofollow">Dear Mr (Or Ms) Automated Twitter Following Bot…</a></em></abbr> Nice article, John.

He's not going to miss that opportunity if it presents itself. Do you know the story of the successful hot dog vendor? Enjoyed the information. I've got a lot to learn about twitter. More later.
