Where in the World are My Subscribers?
Edition #119
Last night I had dinner in Washington DC with Tom Kulzer, the CEO of Aweber.
In case you didn’t know, Aweber is the company I use to manage my email lists (such as Eric’s Tips).
We talked about some of Aweber’s new features, several of which I was not even aware of. One of the cool things that I didn’t previously know about is their “geo-targeting” feature.
It allows you to segment your list by geographic location. It’s not perfect, but it gives a good estimate of most locations.
So if you received an email about this edition, please let me know: is the location in the subject line of the email close to where you live? If you’ve got a minute, I’d appreciate if you could post your location in the comments of my blog. I also think it will be neat just to see where everyone is from.
Aweber also has a mapping function. I’ve posted a map below which shows where all of my subscribers are located around the world:

According to Alexa.com, only about 50% of all visitors to the Eric’s Tips blog are from the US, and the map from Aweber seems to coincide with that number.
It’s a little mind-boggling for me to think about all of you reading this all over the world, and very humbling at the same time.
We also talked a lot about email strategies and statistics. Tom is fanatical about that type of stuff, and he gave me a lot of great information. He actually posts a lot of great tips on the Aweber company blog, which is a goldmine of information for their customers.
Since a lot of you have been asking me for “more tips” lately, I’ll share a couple of them with you here.
Best time of day:
Morning is by far and away the best time for emailing your list. Most emails are opened in the 9AM-10AM range. While I don’t always stick to it, I often send my emails just a little earlier than that, to make sure they arrive shortly prior to this hot zone.
Best day of the week:
While it seems that it might be getting a little overly-used in the internet marketing community, Tuesday is often the best day to send an email to your list.
Avoiding spam filters:
While you should avoid spammy keywords in your emails (to stay out of spam filters), you should NOT use special characters and weird spellings in an attempt to get around the spam filters. Doing so will only make you look more like a spammer (I need to go fix that on some of my older autoresponder messages).
I hope you found those helpful, and Aweber has many more helpful materials and tips for their customers. If you’re not already building a list, you NEED to be. And if you don’t already have a company that you’re using, I highly recommend Aweber.
Remember to post your location in the comments so we can see where everyone lives
Have a great day!



Your email didn’t have an entry for my location, in Milton Keynes UK
Eric
You were correct. I am fromthe Adelaide area in South Australia
Hi Eric,
I’m actually in Sydney, Australia, but there was no mention of my location in your email!
All the best,
Tony
Hiya, from Edinburgh, Scotland, U.K.
I’m in South Africa bro. Keep up the good tips.
Hi Everyone
I was beginning to wonder where are the South Africans, and whether Eric’s tips will work for a South African like me.
Eric, I have been in a product online business and because I always thought internet will do everything for me as I am not a marketer, I am now enjoying your newsletters and your tips. I am have taken steps back and following your tips. I hope in no time I will be making lots and lots of money, with your tips of course. I am downloading lessons rather than waiting for you to send me nesletters. I cannot wait to start implementing all of your step by step lesson.
Hello Eric,
Well, I think it depends on how you look at it. If you are in the United States, then yes, I’m in the Lod area (Lod is right outside of Tel Aviv). If you are in Israel then I’m about 45 minutes from Lod (which, considering that it’s only an 8 hour drive from one side to the country to the other is not so close). So, it’s pretty good at pinpointing a radius within an hours driving distance, but it didn’t quite pick-up the city that I’m located in (which is Ramat Beit Shemesh) or the city that I provides me with internet access(Haifa) or the city which hosts my website (Utah). Still, excluding Utah - it’s not bad.
All the best,
Moshe
P.S. Thanks for the e-mail tips.
Hi Eric,
I m from Ibaraki Prefecture, Joso City, which is about 1 hour from Yokohama by train.

c/ya
Hi, I live in London
I am from Canada,but Dalmeny is close.It is a small town just a few miles northwest of Saskatoon,Saskatchewan where I live.
Hi Eric,
Got it right. And as a subscriber it was quite intriguing. For a moment I thought you were going to be in Delhi soon -)
And thanks for the tips.
Anurag
Hi!
Yes, I’m from Sweden and I love your newsletter!

Spot on! Cape Town South Africa.
Brisbane, which AWeber nominated, is the capital of Queensland, the second largest state in Australia. But I am - I have just looked it up - 1780kms north at Port Douglas, a small coastal resort town. You should hold one of your seminars here!
Hmmm … well, you’re batting around .500 for me, since I’m currently double-subscribed (plan to change that.)
The address I’ve used for this post is a Gmail address, that I access via POP through Outlook … that email claimed that my location was “Satellite Provider” (go figure.)
The other address (drop me a note off-line if you’re tracking that closely) placed me accurately in Israel, making me your second commenter from Israel I think. I’m in Efrat, a town just south of Jerusalem in an area called Gush Etzion.

Oh, one more thing … neither email mentioned my location in the subject line, but it was mentioned in the middle of the body copy.
Hello Eric,
there wasn’t a place named inyour email to me, but I live in New Zealand at a suburb of Tauranga (our City area) called Papamoa Beach.
It’s still Summer here so still plenty of swimming weather around for us. Our part of the country is very mild and although we do get some frosts, they are not nearly as cold here as in other parts of the country.
Thank you for the opportunity of being able to share with others of your readers where we live.
The Internet really makes the World quite a small and fascinating place, don’t you think?
Bless you and keep up with those great newsletters.

Hi Eric,

Hi Eric,
Spot on! I am in Biringham, U.K. ….. the “Jewel in the Crown of England”, in spite of the fact that I was born and lived the first 30 years of my life in London
Hi Eric,
I am represented by one of the two yellow dots in Perth, Western Australia.
I am on your list under 3 different emails (Don’t know why just am!) Two of them had no place at all and the third one got a UK town (Brighton) but thats the other side of the Country from me (Burnham). On this basis I would depend on using to tight a parameter of geo mailings.
Phill
Great information can be obtained from IP addresses. If you do not go through software that hides your address that is!
Widnes is veeerry close. A couple of miles.
Runcorn actually. Not very far at all compared to distances in the U.S.

Greetings from the “heart” of Europe!
Hi Eric,
Elitsa here from Bulgaria -the most picturesque place
in Eastern Europe!
Well, that’s not only my opinion, I know a lot of people
coming here to visit our beautiful mountains and resorts.
I encourage you to visit my country if you plan to take a trip to
Europe some day.
take care,

Hi Eric,
It said Canada and it was right. Unfortunately it didn’t specify Pointe Claire, a suburb of Montreal. I was hoping it would at least zero in on Montreal but maybe being just outside it threw it off.
It’s a fantastic feature and, apart from being useful information, is way cool to look at!
Hey Eric, keep up the good work, the really good work. I mean it.
Regards,
Joe Faia
Its great to know how many read your newsletter aside from myself.I find them really informativeand helpful .Since living here 80 km from Rome.In Civitavecchia on the seaside port .I dont feel cut off from the world readign your newsletters..—
Hi Eric,
Your tag line had me in Maidenhead - about 50 miles to the west of central London. But I live near Tunbridge Wells - about 50 miles south-east of central London.
Close, but no cigar! Interesting feature, however.
Thanks for the tips!
Best regards,
Ian
Yes, I do live in New Zealand - the beautiful capital city of Wellington
That’s a cool tool you have there! It got my location correct, at Sacramento. I’d assume it got my state correct as well, it just wasn’t provided, but I live in Sacramento, California.

I do live near the Mont Belvieu, TX area. I stay 20 minutes away in a small town named Anahuac. Thanks for all the great information, by-the-way.

Hi Eric.. cool Idea - I am from Reigate (nr. Gatwick airport) and about 23 miles south of London. email said the are you in the “Abinger area” there is an Abinger in dorking aprox 15 min drive assuming you were refering to Abinger (UK). I see so many UK names in the states it gets confusing.. Your tips are the best and one of the few I really look forward to getting due to quality info and not just spamming links for the latest products. So many “guru’s” seem to do this these days.
Keep up the good work..
Hi Eric
I am located in Gisborne New Zealand
The first city in the world to see the sun on any new day…(a tourist promo lol)

Hi Eric
I am from Brisbane Australia - my suburb is Nathan

Hello Eric,
I live about 50 metres away from Jarrow England so I am impressed.
Although I am currently onboard a ship at Singapore.
My emails are being forwarded to my Blackberry.
Keep sending your tips.
Hello Eric,
You are correct the country I live in in New Zealand, although I do not live in Auckland our largest city. I live in Hawke’s Bay which is in the North Island same as Auckland but further south, on the east coast of New Zealand. My closest Ocean is the Pacific Ocean, I live in a locality with a population of about 150,000. I do visit Auckland from time to time. The total population of New Zealand is just past 4 million. So the mapping function is useful because New Zealand though diverse in quite homogeneous in trade respects I would have thought.
I work as a historian, and librarian. I am also an affliate for Skype and Franklin Covey on my baby blog. I am working to set up a better website.
Regards and thanks for adding value with your marketing tips.

Hey Eric,

The location in the subject line is close (about 12 miles away).Actually I live in Pine Mountain Club, CA, but the US Postal Service computer lists my Zip code (93222) as being in Frazier Park, because that is the location of the nearest real Post Office.
Hi Eric,
I am in Sydney Australia, and yes you were close - Merrylands is approx half hour away.
Cheers
No Eric i live in Woomera. That is outback South Australia.
listed as Wesley Chapel, Fl., which is by Tampa. I am in Winter Park, on the east side of Orlando. However, I believe that RoadRunner, my ISP, is based in that area and serves all of Central Florida. Tampa RoadRunner would be a different ISP.
Most geolocations I have seen list either Tampa or Wesley Chapel.
Hi Eric,
Subject line of my email read Ipswich, which is about 250 miles away from where I live in Torbay, Devon, UK. At least it got the country right!
Dave
Yeah I am from South Africa. The location is wrong, I live in Port Elizabeth. But I guess it’s right because my internet’s servers is in Midrand. Thanks for all the tips

Hi Eric,

No, I’m not in the Dallas area, I’m from Derby, that’s in the middle of England. I’m from the UK.
Thanks for the tips.
Because I know that some of my subscribers are in the States, I’ve set my newsletter to be sent out in the early hours of the morning UK time. That way I hope to catch most of people in the morning.
Wishing you well

Hi Eric.
You asked about my proximity to Victoria, BC. Well, were I am, Port Alberni, is 117 miles away, a 2.5 - 3 hour drive.
Will there be a random prize draw for those who responded? LOL!
Cheers.
Eric,
I live in Fort Myers, FL area. Great tip!

Hi Eric, almost perfrect match!
But since Bratislava is out capital and Trnava is just about 45 km from it - the location is quite correct!

Hi Eric,
Mine just said, “area” but the last time I checked, I was in Dallas, Texas. Enjoy your newslette and recommend it to others all the time.
Keep up the good work.
JD
Hi Eric,
I live in Endeavour Hills a south-eastern suburb of Melbourne, Australia, about 40 minutes drive from the city center. The location you gave, Glen Waverley, another south-eastern suburb, is about 10 - 11 miles or 20 minutes drive from where I live and about 25 minutes from the city center.
So I’d say that the pinpoint is pretty close on a world scale.
Hi Eric
I am from South Africa, living in Saldanha, a small town on the West Coast, about 150 km from Cape Town. Could’nt make money on the net yet, but not giving up.
Thanks for the helpful tips.

It was 1300 kilometers out. I’m in Brisbane and it said Canberra.
I was actually born in Canberra, could Aweber be smarter than we think?
Aloha Eric,
There was no mention of where in my subject or email, just a question mark… oh and how’s the weather?,
It’s Great here, although its late in the evening when I’m responding to your request.
Anyway I am from Oahu Hawaii USA.

Hey Eric, your email felt so personal
Yes, the weather is quite balmy in Honolulu!
This is what was in te subject line: Becky, are you in the area? (let me know either way)
Then further down: How’s the weather in …?
and even further down: Aweber seems to think you are from:
So it didn’t even list a location for me
wonder what’s up with that?
Hi Eric
I’m from Laidley, Queensland, Australia. The closest city would be Brisbane.
You’re email had me as Dallas, USA.
Pretty interesting technology if it was working correctly all the time

Hi, I am from the UK - Hull but am living in St Vincent in the Caribbean. I notice from the map that you have several people in this area. Would be interested to know if any are from St Vincent.
Always read your musings with great interst.

Very interesting, my email host is in Melbourne (I think) but I am about 10km from Adelaide where Aweber has determined that I was. Pretty good and accurate enough for most purposes..
Cheers from South Australia.
Hi Eric,
I’m from Springwood which is south of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Not in your email, but certainly on your map. Best wishes inputting all the data.
Eric, your sub line was spot on. I’m located in Osaka, Japan. I’m on a great connection with J-Com, so it probably pinpoints pretty close.

Eric,
I guess Aweber was accurate, as when I first signed up for Eric’s Tips, I was living in Northampton, in England, which is about 45 miles from Stevenage, which is where Aweber thinks I’m located.
However, I moved to the USA in 2005, and am now living in Arizona.
Best wishes,

Hello Eric,
When I saw your subject line, I thought you were visiting my country, the Philippines. I’m in another island in this country. I have to cross the sea either by boat or plane just to get to Manila.

Hi Eric,
Yap, I’m from France. But somewhere in the south, just next to Monaco. Ever heard about Nice? Yes, I’m from there..

kia ora Eric, the greeting is my native language which is Maori and translates to read .hello Eric.
Yes Aweber is correct in that I reside in the city of Hamilton which is located in the North Island of NewZealand, I guess thats the power of the Internet which allows us to communicate to each other around the world.Keep the tips coming

Eric,
Yes I am from Willemstad at the island of Curacao in the Netherland Antilles(AN) and I wondered how it is traced, but when I go In O.E. to my file-menu and click on properties I find your I.P.address and I suppose that there are charts or tables worldwide of these I.P.-addresses, which point to a geographic location of that I.P.address when it is stable.

Actually, I’m in the area of Winston-Salem, N.C., not Columbus as the subject stated. I’m not even sure how far away Columbus is from here as I’m new to the W-S area.
But that’s cool that Aweber can pinpoint most places where your subscribers are from!
You have a great newsletter!
Interesting….
I live near Modiin which is in Israel but about 2 hours drive from Haifa.
Pretty cool function in Aweber, though. I’ll have to use it!
I received 2 emails. The first one had the capital city for my country (Lisboa - Portugal). Well, I live 1 hour from it.
The second email had no city name.

Hey Eric:
Really enjoy your newsletter. There was no location in my subject line. I am from Dwight, Illinois; about 65 miles sw of Chicago. Keep up the great work.
Hi Eric
I do live in Australia (as your email suggested), and also live in the same state (NSW) as the town you mentioned, but my location is 40km north of the suggested town. So, overall, the geo-targeting is pretty good.
As part of a recent objective to buckle down and focus on actually getting some business going, I’ve unsubscribed from 95% of the mailing lists of the many gurus I was subscribed to (which has made me far more productive). Your subscription is one of the few that I’ve decided not to leave behind.
You actually provide good content, rather than just spam people with promotion after promotion. The gurus all say to do this (provide valuable content), but hardly any of them do it. I guess it’s a case of “do as I say not as I do”.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Ron.
Hi Eric,
You were almost correct, I am from Sweden and live just a few miles south of Enskede.
And by the way, Your newsletter is great!

You got it Eric. You had me in Ryde (Sydney Australia) im actually 5 minutes from Ryde. I have AWeber and am going to play with it now.

I live in Lutz, which is essentially becoming a suburb of Tampa on the north so the pinpointing mechanism was close in this case. Thanks for all the great tips.
Eric,
Aweber was dead on to the city that I live in.
Interesting Post: maybe it’s time to do another thorough review of Aweber.
Have a good day sir!

Just letting you know that Jenny and I live on the Central Coast of New South Wales , Australia in a place called The Entrance ( approx 1 hour north of Sydney )
Hi Eric,
Your email surprised me when I saw my town in the subject line. I thought you were coming to town.
Actually, I’m in Washington Township, New Jersey (USA) which don’t have it’s own zip code but the town Blackwood NJ that was in the subject line is one of the towns that delivers mail to our town.
So yes, it worked very well. Aweber has a winner.

Hello Eric,
The program got it right that Franklin is the town in which my ISP is located. For everyone’s information, that is how you are targeted, not by your actual street address. The specified location in the email should be the same as the business/billing address of your ISP.
As a result, in my case, even though the physical office of my ISP is in the city limits of Middletown due to annexation, the Post Office says they are in Franklin. Interesting world, isn’t it?
Have a great day,
Jonathan

Well Done Eric!

Much Appreciated!

Hi All,
I’m from Jitra, Malaysia… not from Kuala Lumpur. Although 400km off “target” :), the headline really caught my attention. Cool stuff!
For me, it’s a little bit more complicated than others…
I am from West Indies (La Guadeloupe, just beneath trinidad), I have French nationality (I was born in and grew up in Paris), I just left Dubai (I just spend 5 years there), and I am now in Egypt (since 6 month), but I am preparing to move to another country.
I told you it wasn’t easy to follow. And this is just a summary.

Hello Eric,
very clever !
I’ve heard of geo-targeting before but it’s combination with aweber makes it very usable and

And yes - I Iive about a km from the Sydney suburb of Baulkham Hills.
Pretty close -

Eric,
Hello from Mountain View, Calfornia. It wasn’t all that long ago that if someone asked me
what aWeber was, I would have told them a Webber was the one of the Fab Five who brought dishonor and harm to the U. of Michigan basketball program. (Now redeeming himself with the Detroit Pistons.) Now I know it is generally considered the top service in
its niche. Let me “double opt-in” on that opinion.

Hi Eric, I was quite surprised when you asked if I was near Graton, CA as if you blink when you drive through you will miss it. I am rather near there, but actually in Cazadero, a small town in the redwoods on the Russian River in West Sonama county, 8 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. I am about 70 miles north of San Francisco, CA, and Santa Rosa, CA is the largest city close by. I love your tips by the way! Julie

Eric,
They got it right that I am in Australia, but I think that was a given considering the .au email address.
However Camp Mountain, which I had to look up myself, is on the outer northwest side of Brisbane and I am on southern edge 60-70 km away. But taken in context with the size of the country and the world that is pretty darn close. Tell Tom that his people have still got some fine tuning to do.

Yes I am from Sweden and Tumba is very close, a little less than 5 miles from my present appartment! As a matter of fact I lived there six months ago when I moved to Norsborg, which is the correct postaddress where I live now. It really felt very special when you wrote Tumba in the subject line. You suddenly felt much closer and personal. I am interested in things like that myself, I love to look at Google Maps. I have a sponsor in a health care business who lives in California and I can see her HOUSE ! in Google Maps!

Yup, got it right, Valley Village, CA!! What’s funny, is that it used to be called North Hollywood (I still refer to it as N.H) but they just changed the name to Valley Village about a year ago and I am truly amazed that you were able to get that correct so soon after the name change! That’s pretty cool, oh and so is your Newsletter!!!!! Thanks!

I’m not sure why I got the global citizen location, but it was kind of funny.
Eric I am from Littleton, Colorado
Eric,
Just as an FYI, your “subject line” has me pegged in a town 15 miles from the town in which I live. No big deal here but, in a situation where small communities might be more competitive (e.g. rival football schools, etc.), I suppose that could be a perceived insult to some.
I can’t tell you why AWeber might think I live there, unless it is because they have a slightly higher population. While that may be true, we have higher taxes; doesn’t that count for something? - lol
Cheers,
laserjim

you’re within 5 miles of my actual city of residence. Close, but close enough? If this is an email tool, how important is 100% accuracy? Any thoughts on that–can one miss by a few miles and still impress the recipient?

You got it right Eric.
Thanks for the tips…
Hi Eric,
Well, at least it got the state right. Fargo is the biggest city in North Dakota, but is about 5 1/2 hours away from me. I live closer to a town known as Minot, ND, which is in the upper central part of North Dakota, whereas Fargo is in the southeastern corner of the state. The actual town I live in is Stanley, North Dakota, about an hour’s drive from Minot.
Make it a great day!
Spot on Eric. I’m from Gloucester in the UK. That’s a cool tool aweber has got. I reckon it must use some kind of IP location as that’s about the only way it can be so near perfect.

I’m not surprised that you’re surprised that only half of your subscribers are in the US.
Sometimes I think there is a USW for you and a WWW for the rest of us.
One marketer was so unaware of the rest of the world that his sign-up form required a USA
telephone number. I was given the number of a local Chinese restaurant by
a US colleague. Hope they phoned and got a ton of beef with black bean sauce
dumped on their doorstep.
As for teleseminars etc. most marketers don’t seem to know that the outside
world doesn’t have the same time as the USA. Who wants to get on a call
at 3am local time?

Hi Eric, Yes aweber was somewhat close. Considering that Century Telephone only services certain parts of the country, they weren’t far off. Actually we are in the first planned retirement community in the country ( http://www.cherokeevillage.org ) slightly east of north central Arkansas, and 40 miles east of Mountain Home. We started our internet business in 2000 in Mesa, AZ and went through the normal wasted effort that most do, before we found a manufacturer who would sell to us, and now our business has grown by over 500% per year for the last two years, and is projected to do better than 530% in growth for 2007, so far with nothing more than SEO. We moved to Arkansas in 2004, and we are now working on the largest project yet, a 60+ page web site that will be a one-stop shopping experience for beginning marketers everywhere, and yet serve as a home for a local marketers club that were are forming. We have been to two of IMC’s seminars, one of Ken McCarthy’s and several others that should remain nameless, and an Ebay University seminar, in order to help us decide what direction to go, and since we have decided that, our business has grown, and to paraphrase Karen Carpenter, we have only just begun. Joel sent us your article about Ladan, and we thought it was the best piece of inspiration that we have ever heard, and if you don’t mind, we would like to use it as the lead-in article for our “motivation” link on our new site. It was great! If anyone is interested in updates on our new site, you’ll have to email me at our azgrand site until we get the new one online, hopefully by mid-April. Thanks for the great information, and keep up the good work.
Your email didn’t have a location for me. I’m in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Your email subject line was very close. Ponte Vedra Beach U.S.
I actually did live there for years, I’m about 15min away now. Cool feature. I was surprised at the demographics for my newsletter. U.K - Australia - U.S - Singapore took the top spots.
It certainly made sure I opened the mail

You have me in Nanton (very small town) a hundred miles away, in the same province of Alberta. I live in a rural area 1 mile outside Calgary (Pop. of approx. 1 million). Calgary is between my residence and Nanton, thus, it is more logical to say I am from Calgary.
Hi Eric
Slough is 5minutes away fom Windsor Castle, the Queens “sometimes” residence, and is not far from London, England (UK), my mother lives there actually. I live about 400 miles to the North West in a small village called Arlecdon, it’s pretty impressive technology all the same.
I like the map, the UK seems to be a HOT SPOT for your fans.
I think you have a loyal following because of your honesty and integrity, this shines through in your entertaining and informative writing and reviews, keep up the good work Eric.

Yea, Aweber got it right.
I’m in Middletown NY USA - some 60 miles north of New York City and 20 miles from West Point.
If only I could ‘affiliate’ with someone who had something desirable on offer for US ARMY officers. I could easily ‘post’ paper flyers around the academy.
Already a subscriber to Aweber but I can’t seem to build the website I want.
Anyone got contacts that can supply InfraRed digital cameras, sunvisor LCD monitors AND (somewhat powerful) IR light sources - all as a ‘drop-ship’ DIY installation ‘kit’ suitable for motor vehicles AND for under US$500? I just want to market them - not stock inventory. Why should luxery car owners (Hummer, Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac) get all the breaks?

Hi Eric;
I’m in Hoboken NJ, just across the Hudson from Manhattan.
My location cited in an email addressed to me is very “eye catching”. I read all of Eric’s Tips and found myself more inclined to open today’s email when “How’s the weather in Hoboken” was placed in the title. It’s very personable and that always works.
My message says I’m from Washington. It did not say Washington state or Washingtion DC. Right now I’m located close to Houston Texas but the Washington location probably is due to my Internet service being Hughes.net and their satellite uplink is located in Maryland.
Hi Eric, hi everyone!
Wow! I’d love to have such a map, with all that visits! (And these are only your subscribers!!!)
Your system was right in your email: I am from northern Algeria, northern Africa, but I don’t seem to be detected yet on that Alexa map (there seems to be one Algerian from the south..)
I didn’t have much time to read a lot on your blog, but I bookmarked it of course, because I find it as cool as informative, and a little inspiring.
See you! Have a nice day everyone!
Yes, I live in South Africa - in Durban.

Hi Eric,
Yes Im from Secunderabad.
I’m in Vancouver, BC and the email tagged me as being in a smaller suburb quite a ways out. It was pretty freaky to see that suburb in the subject. It did get the country correct in the body.
Pretty neat.
Hi Eric,
I guess Aweber doesn’t know where I am, the subject line said “the area” and the places in the message body were just blank. I’m in Conway, NH. Great tips, keep ‘em coming!
Aweber was correct I am about a mile outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
You were close. I am in Arkansas, about 140 miles from Little Rock. I am in the northeast corner of Arkansas though and closer to Memphis, TN

Hi, nothing very exotic here. I don’t live in the Chichibu area as Aweber seems to think. I live here in the heart of Tokyo, with tens of thousands of other westerners.

You are right on. Nashville is home.
You were right, I’m in Montreal,Canada.
Eric-
There is no mention of my state or city. I live in the northeastern portion of Washington State about 15 miles west of Spokane. It is raining and the past week the temperature has fluctuated between 30-60s.
I was raised in Fort Collins and now live in Highlands Ranch - just a two hour drive from FC…
Yep, nailed the city, and Country on the head, but lots of scripts to that!
Hi, I’m from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada

Hi,
yes - I live in Norway. The location in your mail (a place called Fornebu) is near our capital Oslo. I live in the Ostfold region somewhat south of Oslo. Guess aweber does not know all the local places here, so the Oslo region is OK to see in the mail.
I’m from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Port Coquitlam is about a 45 minute car ride from East Vancouver. So, you were pretty close enough? How did Aweber do that?
Greetings from Switzerland, Eric

Hi Eric,
You placed me in Cape Town. I actually live in Johannesburg, which is about 1200Km north-east of Cape Town, but nevertheless still in South Africa! What’s 1200Km between friends anyway!!!!
That’s correct - York, UK ………. the “OLD” York!!
Eric,
Thanks for the head’s up on Aweber’s “geo-targetingâ€. Very interesting
They were close. I’m about 15 miles from the neighboring city that they pinpointed.
Love your websites…. keep up the good work!
Always Victory,
Karen
I guess aweber has no idea where I am from. No location was listed. Lets just say I am from a verrry small town in southern middle Tennessee about 20 miles from Alabama State Line.
I read your “Snow” emails with interest and loved the pictures. We got up 3 mornings to just enough snow to see, then it melted. Very little during the day. I have always wanted to see a snow as deep as yours, then go home immediately. I can remember one year we had 17″ but we seldom get over an inch or two.
Great Tips,
Rose

Aloha from the beautiful islands of Hawaii.
Aweber saying Kailua-Kona for me , is really quite good! If it just said Kailua it could be a same-named city on another island , calling it Kailua-Kona places me correctly on the island called Hawaii, which (to avoid confusion with the name of the state) we call simply Big Island.
Of course, to keep life simple the way we like it here, we never call the town Kailua-Kona. Just call it Kona. . It’s about 30 miles from my home and probably the location of my ISP. Of course, calling it just Kona sounds confusing to visitors, because Kona is also the name for this entire side of the island, and there are two small districts as well —(North Kona and South Kona) . Kona actually is a Hawaiian word meaning dry side of any island, so the word gets used for a variety of settings.
My zip actually is in Kamuela (also called Waimea….but then there’s also one of those on another island) and it is 20 miles from my home, in another direction from Kona town.
And, oh indeed, the weather is beautiful here.
Big mahalo (Hawaiian thank-you) for your useful and delightful newsletter.

Hi Eric
I’m from Charlotte, NC, USA. Your email Subject Line asks “Are you from the Matthews area?”
Well, sort of. Matthews is 18 to 20 miles from Charlotte [to the South-east]. So’s Davidson [to the North]. So’s Gastonia [to the West]. Charlotte is bang in the middle of these. [Home of the Panthers and the Bobcats, for you sports fans.]
I grew up in Davidson. My grandfather [father’s side] and my great uncle [his brother] both taught at Davidson College. My grand dad was also at one time football coach there, as well, and head of the infirmary. But this was well before my time. When I was a kid there he was in private practice as a physician.
It was great fun reading the various comments and locations of some of your subscribers. Hello to all, by the way.
Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Your email subject said are you in Maidenhead (which is a town in the south-east of England) while in the email it just said: United Kingdom. Actually I am in Edinburgh, Scotland so the narrow guess was the wrong town (and country!) but the broad guess was correct.
Cool map though.
Hello from Princeton, New Jersey!!

Hello! I live more in California, Santa Clara County, near San Jose Area.
Pretty cool trick…
From the look of all the responses here I’d say it’s working great. The location for me was off by about an hours drive, but definitely close enough to get my attention.
I’ll have to get with the program now and get this going on my own blog : )
Thanks Eric!

Hi,
I am from Sweden, the North part of Sweden. So it was correct. It is still winter in my location.
Hello,
Yes it was right in my email too - I live in Norway.
Greetings Eric…
Thanks for the ‘personal’ invite. Mine was right on. (Winnipeg, Canada) It seems pretty accurate, depending on routing of IP addresses. It is VERY interesting to see the globalization of YOUR coverage. It frankly surprised me, not because of the quality of your information (very good), but to the degree that so many were outside North America. To me is shows the surge in web access worldwide and the rampant enterpreneurial nature of many world citizens.
On a side note, I was thinking of switching to Aweber for a while and this article put me over the top. And yes, I will use your coded link to them to sign up. Its the least I can do to support my internet bretheren.
Thanks again,
Dale
Right for me too. The mail said I am from Toluca, Mexico and yes, it’s true.

Hi Mysterious Eric,
You very much correct,I live in Lagos Island,Nigeria from where every now and then am fanatically glued to my PC perusing your lucious Newsletters.You are a wonderful chap working with a mysterious (witchcraft) firm as well like Aweber,with spying online software that goes about fishing out where subscribers reside in!

Hey Eric,
Nah, man, Tom missed me by a whopping 15 miles! Gainesville, home of TWO US Championship Florida Gator teams ( and in the Final Four as of an hour ago) is just south of beautiful downtown Alachua, Florida.
But then, no one outside of north Florida even ever heard of the town, so he done good! Ha, ha.
That is one cool tool AWeber has, and seeing that map of your gang is really, I mean REALLY impressive.
Go Eric, Go Gators!

But unfortunately, I’m not ! I am really very far from there : I am from near Tahiti in French Polynesia.
I’m with Aweber since 3 weeks, now ! It seems to be very powerful, but need time to learn how to use it in 100% potential.

We sell ebooks and informational products and software in this rural South Dakota setting. Aweber nailed the closest post office, 6 miles. Not our ZIP code, but pretty good, none the less.
Thanks for the tips, they’re a good company, that’s why I use them!

Hi Eric,

Hi Eric,
There’s only one small (but significant) problem with most geo-location via ip - and that is: it is utterly dependent on the ip address/es of the end-user’s ISP and/or mail server/s (this is true for BOTH browser ip and email ip addresses - and they may well be and often are quite DIFFERENT). This can often show locations to be FAR from the actual end-user’s location, especially these days with ISP’s (especially in the UK) actually taking feeds from ANYWHERE in the country and shipping the data/connections over trunk links to whichever of their servers happens to be most convenient to THEM.
This problem is even worse (i.e. MUCH less accurate) if you try to identify a user from their email ip.
Do it for ANY of my ip addresses for example, and despite being in Reading, UK (neither of which did your email pick up or show BTW) you will find that my browser ip will typically provide you with either a London or a Hull location (about 50 and 250 miles away from Reading respectively). My email ip on the other hand will typically show Virginia USA (I host over 40 domains on US servers as this provides better performance for my main target audience which is US) and I collect & send email from around 20 of those domains into and out of one collection account (inbox) in Outlook and/or Thunderbird depending on whether I am running XP or Linux that particular day.
In addition and for obvious reasons, Hotmail, Gmail, MSN mail, AOL etc. etc. will all likely provide locations from their ip’s that differ wildly from where your clients actually live.
Bottom line is that the browser client ip is probably most accurate but only for a fixed desktop PC, and then typically only to country level (close to 90% plus accurate), with a decreasing accuracy as one tries to narrow down the final location to say a district or local area. ONLY by going through the ISP with a formal request (and usually ONLY with an appropriate court order) can an actual end user location be identified to a specific physical address with any real level of accuracy.
With the number and prevalence of OPEN, private Wifi networks around even THAT cannot be taken for granted. Anyone who uses a Wifi connected laptop, PDA or Smart Phone these days could literally be browsing from ANYWHERE at different times of different days in different cities in different countries. Oh yes! If the end user, like many people I know (myself included), is using a VPN or say VNC to connect to another system on which the browser is ACTUALLY running, then they could physically be right next door to you or even ON THE SAME NETWORK but appear as though they are in Timbuktu. It is perfectly possible to use this to “Time Travel” around the world appearing as though you are jumping from country to country in split seconds.
Given all the above - good luck with your geo-location testing - seriously! Keep up the great reviews and tips.
Best regards, Bob Lewis
Hi, aweber thinks I am somewhere called ‘Farington’, not sure where that is, but I am in Central London, UK, and the weather here is trying to be spring-like. Even better, the clocks went forward today so it is now officially British Summer Time!
Best wishes to all on Eric’sTips newsletter, one of the few in my inbox that is actually worth reading!
I live in beautiful central Pennsylvania, Harrisburg to be exact. And the location was correctly listed.
Best wishes to all!
great newsletter . keep up the good work
Yep, right on - Boca Raton, Fl. Your tips are great - keep em comin’
It seems to lock into the users internet provider location as Rocky Comfort Mo. is where we submit payment.
My 2 questions to you are as follows:
1) how does this compare to Googles in Analytics?
2) how did you get your aweber response to customize to the point that it asked where Rocky Comfort was actually at. By doing this it appeared that you had sat down and personally wrote to each of us. COOL!
On the subject of emailing… whilst, ( I love the way the Brits use this word in their sales pages!)
you have their attention Why not use a form which gives them the ability to fill in a small amount of response text indicating what day and what time would be best to hear from you which will do to things for you:
A) make the relationship instanly seem more trusting, more personal. (as with Eric’s always.)
B) more importanly basically by asking what they prefer, it’s like setting an appointment with them which is what you’d be doing in the non-virtual world if you wanted to solicite someone.

Keep up the good work because it’s really appreciated!

Hi Eric, I’m from Markham Village, Markham, N Greater Toronto Area, ON, Canada.
Much impressed — actually got me to scan through ALL the entries looking for any subscriber from my area. Also saw names of list owners that I subscribe to.
Would appreciate anyone geographically close by to offer expert advice and partner with me in creating a viable Internet business by the end of 2007 /2008.
I am a retired HS teacher (69) and have purchased several domain names, domain hostings, affiliateships, bargain bundles, the works, but realized that quick and personal help (for an Internet illiterate) was non-existent. Many promises were never kept. Some were outright fraudulent. Hence the need for an “eyeball2eyeball” reliable contact physically close at hand.
Thanks for this opportunity.
I do live in York, PA. and the weather was beautiful today. Bill and I took a nice long bike ride. We always ride on the week-ends when the weather is nice…..Have a great week every one……Jude
Well I am close to you…Loveland, Colorado. Also a laugh out loud goes to the user who spent so much time explaining their specific location and city…and the generalizations your program took in finding their location…only to refer to Utah as a city.
Pretty cool Eric…I’m in Charlotte, NC.
That’s what it said on the email!
Jody says:
Eric, your email was correct. Yes, I do live in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.
The temperature at the moment is -8, so spring is a little late getting here as usual. We do not feel too much of a change until the end of April.
I enjoy your tips and find them useful.
Keep up the good work & God bless you and yours.
My email had no address, but you have found me in Venice, Florida, where I seem to be about six months of the year…the rest of the year, I can be found in Roxbury, New York…unless, I am abroad…
Hi Eric,
Well, you got close. I live in Silver City, a small (very small) town, roughly 250 miles (driving miles not air miles) southwest of Albuquerque. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 people in the whole county, the last time I heard. That results in less than 1/3 person per square mile. So we have a lot of elbow room. It results in some nice advantages too, like being able to look out the window of my office and watch one of the resident gray foxes eat the cat food I put out for a stray cat, or at this time of year watch the quail bring in their babies to feed. We call the babies “corks” because that is what they look like, a small cork with legs. Once in a while I set up my camera and snap some shots. I have some nice wildlife photos, taken out my office window. But enough. I wanted to thank you for the tips. I always enjoy your tips ezine. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yup, I’m in Shrewsbury; a small town in PA just 4 miles north of the MD border off I83.
Hello Eric,
Aweber was correct that I am in the United States.
However it decided that I was in Rochester , NY. ( wrong)
No dice.
I am based in Southern Oregon!
I suspect I know why it did this based on my previous career in Email Technology. However no doubt that by examining email header information will tell Aweber quite a bit.
With the volume of mail they process, they probably can pick up pretty quickly when certain parts of the internet backbone are slow or down.
We are spoiled in general how reliable this system has become over the years, but still we do have the occasional outages.
Thanks for sharing a picture of your subscriber distribution!

Hello, Eric;
I’m actually in Sioux City, IA, which is considerably north of Dallas, TX. But at least the same time zone!
Hi Eric,
There was no location in the subject line but I live in Detroit, Michigan. I actually live about 30 miles north of Detroit in a small town.
Hi Eric,
Your email message certainly made me look twice.
My location is listed as ‘Eumungerie’ (wrong, but we share the same small-town postcode) - which is about an hour’s drive from where I live in Nevertire - ‘Almost the Outback’ NSW Australia. Not far by our standards - we drive our school aged children to Rugby games that are over a 500km round trip!
Very dry, and very flat out here - cotton growing/cattle country. It’s interesting to see the strong percentage of your subscribers who are from the Australia/New Zealand area - I’m a Kiwi by birth.
I like your emails - I’m getting quite jaded by some of the constant sell-sell-sell from some of the big guys, so your articles are a breath of fresh air. Loved the Ladan Lashkari article - it made me have a good hard look at myself!
Michele Hamblin
Wow, all of these exotic places are reading your tips and I just have Phoenix, Arizona to report.
Dear Eric,s !

Eric,
I’m from Austin, Tx…actually, Lakeway, Tx. Nothing showed up in the location field for me. This is interesting stuff. I’m not into using mailing lists yet, but I do keep almost all of your notes on file for future reference!
Hi
Thanks for the tips.

Both my email and subject line didn’t contain any geographic information. Anywho, you can put me down for Baltimore, Maryland, “ole chap”!
I am in Utah, USA, a place for skiing, & snowboarding, and also surrounded by beautiful mountains.
Hi Eric,
I’m from Melbourne, Australia. The suburb in the subject line was a suburb about an hours drive from me, across the other side of the city.
P.S. Love your work!
Hello Eric,
Mesa, AZ is correct.
Thanks for your info.
Hi Eric,
You were close, I live in Coquitlam not Port Coquitlam which is the neighbor city to the east. Both are in the greater Vancouver area of Beautiful British Columbia the best place on earth to live. Come and visit us for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

I receive your e-mail correspondence in Craighall Park (Johannesburg), Gauteng, South Africa.
Our Country is beautiful and full of wonderful people. Sure, we have our share of issues that we are working on, being still an infant in our recently established Democracy - which is requiring a lot of change…but on the whole we are doing well. Thanks for your great articles.
We look forward to seeing you in sunny, wonderfully wild, South Africa.
Cheers Angus

Hello Eric!
L. A. here, posting from Indianapolis, Indiana. Even though I am not a big football fan, you can ‘hear’ me say “2007 Super Bowl Champs - The Indianapolis Colts!!”
Here I thought it was bad that my ISP just indicated Greece rather than my excellent island of Paros.
Yet your email had me in Neu-Anspach, Germany.
Cheers,
You were correct i live in Nairobi, Kenya . Cheers
CATE.
Baltimore
Hi Eric,
You and aweber are correct.
My location is around Jakarta, Indonesia.
Wow… everyone posting where they live here.
Well done.
Hi Eric,
I really think Aweber would do better to just indicate the state, province or territory people are from, as they seem to do a lousy job of pinpointing the city. They say I’m in Halifax which is an hours drive away, it would be much more accurate to say Truro which is in the center of Nova Scotia and only 15 minutes away. I sure didn’t expect them to get my actuall village of residence which is Belmont and barely a dot on the map.
It would be a bit like saying you’re from Denver when you’re actually from Fort Collins.
Best Wishes Bill
Dear Mr. Eric,
Thanks for your mail. I am located in Ahmedabad - India. Please give me important online business without much investment. I would really appreciate your efforts.
Best regards,

Yes Eric, McAllen area was correct.
I’m from Malaysia and it is amazed to see malaysia is the best choice for your subscriber…
Eric… I’m located in Southern New Jersey. Your tracker indicated that I was located in Mayslanding… I’m close. I’m actually located in Cumberland County… Centre Grove. It seems as though we’re closer to each other than we think.
Hi Eric,
You are right. Aweber told true , I’m from Paris in France.
Great job are Tips

Hello there Eric, From Davison, Michigan, USA
You got it right on the nose with that one.
Hi Eric,
I live here in the Philippines and I’m near Makati area. The geo-targeting of Aweber is correct
Thanks
Yes, aweber (or you) got it right - I’m in Ft. Lauderdale Florida :)) And yes,
it’s interesting how many different countries your readers are from… wow!! (more smiles)
Hey Eric,
Great tips. e_mail didn’t mention a town/city. But I am from Montross, Va., dreaming of Co.
Ron
Hi Eric,
l leave in Vieux Fort,St.Lucia.Thanks for your good job.
Hey Eric, Aweber’s geo-targeting hit my location on the “nail-head.” Murfreesboro, TN, USA. This has great implications for the emerging “local” internet marketing segment. Regards, KS
Bingo! Nailed my location.
You got mine right…Littleton, CO!
I live in Spokane, Washington. Thanks for the interesting and helpful tips.
Eric,
You are correct, I am from Chicago.
Well you were right. Sublimity, OR That is pretty good software.
Hi Eric
You’re spoton as I am from Singapore
Cheers
You were right I am based in Nottingham, Home of Robin Hood and yes we still have a Sheriff

3. once again, thank you very much, indeed, take care, see you around
with profound regards,
zahid
Hi Eric,
I was listed as living in Bremerton, WA. That was close but actually I live in Everett, WA about 30 miles northwest of there.
I sure love all your tips and advice.
Pretty close… Your email said Grand Prairie, Texas - I am in Duncanville, Texas. Both are suburbs around the southwest edge of Dallas, Grand Prairie being the next one clockwise from Duncanville. This was really no surprise to me, Duncanville didn’t even show up on the maps on our local weather forcasts until the last year or so. Good Job!!
Right on for me. Sunny San Diego, California but not so sunny today. I live in the heart near San Diego Bay and at 62 F it feels mighty cold and a big storm is headed our way. Normally the weather here would make you just cry for its beauty!
Great tips, Eric!
Hello Eric:)
Yes we live in Iceland/Reykjavik
My subject line said “Are you in the area”. Nothing listed. I’m in Manhattan Beach, CA.
The header correctly said Orlando
Hi Eric
Spot on. Izmir in Turkey.

Eric,
Service is right on base. Says Fort Myers, USA. I am in Fort Myers.
Yes, I’m near Southampton, England.
Pretty impressive Eric to see all your subscribers around the world. Amazing!
You were right on with my loacation in Palm Desert Ca. Again Amazing
Yes, i live in Bandung a.k.a. Paris van Java - Indonesia
Wow! That was really cool - you got me! I’m in Northeast Alabama - and Aweber picked a town just 20 minutes from me!
That is really cool - and definitely cool to see your worldwide subscribers!!
your friend was right .i am from Bucharest ,Romania .
Hello Eric.
Yes ( Brantford)
You were right on the money.
Eric,
Yes I my office is in Princeton, NJ. I think aweber track location of your subscriber based on phone area code.
Enjoying your sincere tips all the time.
Have a nice day.

hi,

Aweber was spot on!
Thanks for your posts,

Hi Eric,
Love your tips. I hail from Santa Cruz, California.
I’m in Westminster, CA, exactly where your email said I was!
Hi Eric,
You were off by around 100 miles. I live in Susanville, Ca which is about a 2 hour drive north east from Chico.
Eric,you are close about 15 mi from vincennes at bicknell,in.
Assuming you meant the state of Pennsylvania, you email was 100% accurate with ‘Erie’.
Right state, wrong county. AWeber said “Los Altos” which is in the Bay Area, but we’re in Oakland. However, our ISP COVAD is located in San Jose, which is a pretty close match. If AWeber had not only done a reverse DNS query on the IP where I signed up, but then also looked up the registration for the domain name they found in that PTR, they probably would’ve found us… although we’re registered with Network Solutions, who seem a bit allergic to automated inquiries.
Hi Eric,
Nice to hear from you on Aweber. I’m from India.
Cheers.
Yes. I am from Chicago and the whether is fabulous right now. It’s in the mid-70’s. But you know what they say about Chicago. If you don’t like the weather just wait a few minutes and it’ll change.
Absolutely, I am selling websites in Minneapolis. http://www.TheRealDesign.com - Keep the awesome tips coming.
you were 40 miles off i live in saint john new brunswick
I’m from Markham, Ontario, Canada
While there was no location in the midst of your message, I thought the location of your dinner with Aweber’s CEO was perhaps part of the geo-targeting feature. I live about 25 miles outside the center of Washington, DC, if indeed you travelled from Fort Collins, CO to DC — which either way is pretty neat!
By the way, because of a fellow from Longmont, CO, I’ve become a fan of Fat Tire beer over the past couple of beers — but haven’t seen them anywhere east of the Mississippi River.
Thanks for all of the great info!
It worked for my location - Southlake, Texas, USA, near Dallas/Fort Worth.
Yep, you got it right! Welcome to Western Pennsylvania Eric!
Hi Eric,
Referring to the first line of your email, I do not have any idea where Adamsville is, so do not know how the weather is there…… Cherokee Village, Arkansas, is home for us, and our weather is in the high 70’s Fahrenheit, low humidity, high clouds, lots of flowering trees, beautiful this time of year! Keep up the good work with your tips!
Sharon
Good guess Eric.Canada is right but your
mapping system has lost its tracking, as far
as pin pointing and thats a good thing.
Don’t you think.
Well, actually, as of the time you wrote your email, I was right there in Washington DC at the same hotel you were at, at Yanik’s event
Seriously though, for some reason Aweber seems to think I’m from Dallas, but as we’ve discussed in past conversations, I’m from Long Island, NY., so I guess it’s not always accurate. Maybe it has something to do with my email account being from verizon (similar to what Tom Kulzer was saying about AOL users usually showing up as being from Virginia)?
Anyway, it was good to see you down there, and thanks again for dinner and the advice!
Keep up the good work,
Neil

Hi Eric,
Right you are, I’m from Kazakhstan though I’ve incorporated in USA.
I think I’m the only one and first woman from this country.
Have you ever heard about this country? If not, then do not hesitate to ask me.
I go in for Internet and Network Marketing, Forex trading.
Nice to meet you
Best wishes
Hi Eric,
Good tips….I’ll have to spend some more time here soon.
Oh, I’m from the US, but live in Japan…near Yokohama.
I’m hoping Aweber will build in the capability to do a mailing from within your email client, w/o bouncing back and forth between lists. Of course followup are automatic, but if there were the capability of doing a broadcast directly from within Outlook, that’d be a sweet time saver.
Hello Eric,
Of course you got it right. I am from Nairobi, Kenya.
Like what you do. Keep it up.
Hi Eric,
AWeber is spot on. I am in South Africa - but quite a long way from Parow. I live in Durban, South Africa on the east coast.

Wow Eric…that’s pretty close to home. New Rochelle (NY) is just few miles from me.
Hey Eric,
I’m from Red Deer Alberta Canada. By looking at the map there are either not many Canadians on your list or they don’t respond as well.
If you’re ever up this way try “Hubie’s Diner” in Westpark by the College. It still has ’satellite jukeboxes’ ( HUH? Ask your grand-parents) at each booth and lots of momentoes from the Elvis era, pictures, posters of Elvis and Marilyn and Jimmy (Dean not Hendrix) , newspaper clips and lots of little collectables to look at. They make a great breakfast but be sure to bring ca$h because part of the ’50’s theme is that there were no ATM’s then and they don’t take credit cards either.
Now, if it’s Sat morning and you’re feeling the night before….Blarney Stone South has a great ‘hangover special’….steak, eggs, hashbrowns and toast PLUS a pint of your favorite and only 10 bucks C$…
Yeah Eric, I figure this map is a good thing
Yep, got it right. I’m located just South of Pittsburgh,
Pa. U.S.A_Finally warming up after a cold Winter

Hi Eric,
Your Aweber is perfect. I’m living in Zagreb. The weather is like early spring and we are waiting summer to go to Adriatic coast. If You have in plan to come to Croatia please let me Know! Best regards ! Ivica
Hi Eric,
Well, Aweber put me in a small town about 40 miles north of where I live. I actually live in Helena, Montana not Cascade. Helena is the state capital, but is not by any means the largest Monana city at about 35,000, which is small by some state and country standards. But we are spread out here. Cascade, on the other hand probably has a population of less than 5,000. Both places, though, have some pretty nice scenery around them.

Hi Eric:
I am a new subscriber to your tips and although I have only received 3 to date, I have already learned some very interesting things….thank you! These comments have a two-fold purpose;
(1) I reside in the USA, particularly in the state of Maryland.
(2) Since you have been at this for a while you probably have learned a lot more than other people have forgotten. I believe if you were to ask your subscribers what it is that they have heard about but know nothing about, you may very well get the gravity of the situation that exist when many people who havebeen exposed to the internet for many years but simply don’t know so much about one subject or another. I am saying that to ask if you possibly have your tips or newsletter (older ones) in an archive on one of your websites, so that we can get your old tips or newsletters, who for some of us will be just as valuable as your most recent ones.
Thanks for allowing me to comment!
