Some times, I just think it is better to have a blog or forum on your site so that you can as well add the newsletter on the forum/blog as you rightly said, this will drive traffic to the site.

For example, the "age" of your subscribers (how long they've been on your list) tends to have an inverse correlation with your open rate... people who subscribed more recently are usually more interested than "older" subscribers. We posted some open rate stats a while back, with some commentary that you may find helpful: http://www.aweber.com/blog/email-marketing/open-rates-by-list-size.htm Mubita,

My newsletter is doing OK but I think it could do better. Ironically, one of the most opened newsletters lately for me had a subjet, "Happy World Women's Day". I still do not get it. Does anyone out there have any tips on the most engaging subject lines? Also what is the average open rate persentage wise? Thanks in anticipation.
