Word of Caution: When someone subscribes to your site he/she is trusting you with their private information – a way to directly get in touch with them. Consider it a privilege. Here are a few rules (think of them as the 3 commandments of email marketing, if you will)
Never email your subscribers with fake/suspicious products, only because the publisher promised you a huge chunk of money.
Only email products you have personally used and tested.
Never, ever, sell off your email list (they usually fetch a ton of money). That’s highly unethical. If you believe in karma… you get the drift, don’t you?
4. Number of Page Views
Displaying the number of page views is a great Country Email List way to portray a site’s popularity. Ideally you should display the page views for individual pages in your blog. That means every post will have a separate page view count. Displaying a combined number of page views would do no good, since your audience would not be able to differentiate between the popular posts and the, well, not-so-popular ones!
We talked about social strength (#2.3) under the Membership Strength category. Although the number of social media shares should technically fall under that category, I think it deserves special attention. This is because displaying the social media share count is a bit tricky – it’s more of a double-edged sword, and here’s why:
Ideally, you should only display your social scores when you’ve reached a significant number of shares. Moreover, this number should be prominently displayed. It will increase the user’s likeliness to share the post once he/she has finished reading it.
