The first issue of my new newsletter, Make Easy Money with Google and AdSense, will be published sometime new week. (As you can see, I'm following my own advice about how to generate some more traffic to your site.) This is part of a concerted effort on my part (along with the podcast I announced yesterday) to reach a broader audience for my book and for my AdSense-related writings in general. Yes, the blog has a good readership and has slowly been climbing the Technorati rankings, but you can still reach a bigger set of people by email than you can with blogs. That's why it's important to build a good mailing list.
As part of this effort, I'm discontinuing the mailing list I had hosted on Google Groups. Those of you who subscribed to it will shortly get an email from me confirming this. While Google Groups was easy to use, I also found that the response rate was poor — neither name I drew for the free signed copy of my book elicited a response from the emails I sent them. Obviously, they just signed up and weren't reading the postings to the list.
So what I've done is used a professional mailing list firm to create a new mailing list for my newsletter. Subscribe to this list and you'll get a chance to win a signed copy of my book.
As a bonus for signing up, you'll also get a free unpublished AdSense traffic tip sent to you by mail in two parts.
To join, use the form on my new newsletter signup page.
