I sent out my newsletter to over 20,000 subscribers today, they must be worth a lot to Google! My EPC on the online version of the newsletter is showing some of the largest numbers I've ever seen.
Anyone else have the same experience?
seriously now, congrats spaceylacie!
Everyone says how great newsletters are, and I'm just not seeing it - I'm definitely doing something wrong.
Can I ask - do you include the full content of the newsletter in the emails you send out, or is it just a link to the newsletter online? (with AdSense).
I send the full content (text and HTML versions) - and it doesn't pull enough visits to the site, or make enough sales to be worthwhile. I need a new approach.
By the way, were you the one who told us a story about your family having you committed to an institution after you gave up your business for Adsense? At the rate you're going, these same people will probably quit their jobs soon and start their own adsense site too! But maybe they should get themselves committed first too. Just kidding...:)
I sent the full newletter, but just a text version with no clickable links... The email newsletter says, first thing, "click here for the online version of this newsletter, with clickable links".
People are clicking!
"Along the same lines, quilting as an art form is continuing to progress into 2005. Crazy quilting has become quite popular. Unlike traditional quilting(or 'sane' quilting) which involves using basic shapes, crazy quilting utilizes random shapes to create works of art on fabric. Embellishments used on crazy quilts are as diversified as the quilters themselves."
Are you saying that it makes it sound like I'm encouraging people to click on Google links? I hadn't thought of that.
Now that I've got a day's worth of stats in, turns out the money came from the links in one particular article, not clicks on the Google ads on the online newsletter page. Although this page started out having unusually high stats, maybe a glitch as stats caught up since it was a new page suddenly getting alot of visitors?
Anyway, point is, write articles for your newsletter that relate directly to the content on your pages(the pages with ads), then point people to these pages for more information.
This isn't the first newsletter I've sent, just the first that started out having Google ads in the online version, I had been just adding Adsense to archives, after about a month. I thought the high stats were directly related to this, but instead found out that it was just the particular article. The pages linked in that article got all the hits, and those pages are full of Adsense ads.
Well, good luck to anyone who wants to start a newsletter!
i browsed briefly through your site, but didn't see any adsense, except the google search box at the bottom. Do you do AS full time from this one site only, or you have others as well?
either way, job well done! :) I've been living full time off AS/AM since around beginning this year too, and currently enjoying some 'vacations' in south of Spain.
