		<description>Excellent benchmark data on email marketing. The insights into the age of the list and the declining open rates is great common sense insights that we have overlooked.</description>

		<description>Hi Tom

we're just writing a book which includes a section on opt-in lists (and recommends aweber of course!) - I'd love to include your graph and some of your comments and put (yet another) a link to aweber in there - is that possible?

		<description>Thanks Tom, 

This information is extremely interesting and helpful as I've been searching for average open rates of ezines.  My average open rate for my regular monthly ezine is 128% and I've been wondering how that compared to others.  Now I know!  Granted, my list size is an 'intimate' number, but perhaps, smaller IS better...in this case.  

Now I'm curious to see stats on how open rates relate to sales.  Hmm.</description>

		<description>Ezel,

You might think the data looks weird, but I can assure you that's 
the real data across thousands of customers, tens of thousands of 
campaigns and several hundred million individual recipients. I 
wasn't a statistics major in college, but I'm pretty sure that's 
a statistically relevant sample size.  ;)

Every ESP is going to have a different base set of customers.  
We're very strict about the type of customers that we work with 
and require an extremely high standard of opt-in list quality.  
All of which factors into overall email deliverability and open 
rates in the long run.  Many of our customers are also very
small businesses that tend to have a closer bond with their
subscriber base than more corporate oriented customers.</description>

		<description>Glad to see the blog!

I'd love to see some articles around how to best leverage Aweber. I know there are lots of features I am not even using.  Perhaps an autoresponder/relationship building using Aweber for Newbies (or Dummies, or whatever...but keeping it simple and accessible for people newer to using these tools. I am solid from a technical standpoint, but newer to the marketing aspect).

Looking forward to reading your regular posts!</description>
