I only started my website/blog a little over a month ago. I had open rates well over 100% because my friends were interested in seeing what I was doing, and were forwarding my blog broadcasts to others. The last couple of weeks it has settled down to right about 50% which I was, naturally, going, "oh no" after seeing such huge open rates at first. Apparently, 50% is not bad. I feel better. :) Hmmm…I think what I got out of this is that maybe my open rates are better than I thought.

I'm expecting it to slowly decrease over time as the list ages and more people sign on. Probably from having a smaller, more commited list for each blog at this stage of the game.

With a list that is pretty good - or I'd consider to be pretty good - I get about 20-30% open rate! :( I’m more interested in how you got those open rates!

I am a relative newbie to internet marketing and I have a very small mailing list that I mail to very infrequently. This is something I have to really work on to stay in touch with my subscribers. I do not know if my list is big enough to split test the days but I guess I will start with maybe midweek and go from there. I also like the idea of the blog broadcasts. This is something I am not doing and I need to check into. This way my subscribers would not get an email everytime I create a new blog post but instead get an email once a week. Thanks for the ideas! - Rick Paul:

But if you haven't tested any other days you should consider doing that. If your list is big enough just try a split test for Thursday/Friday or Wednesday/Thursday and see if you get significantly better or worse results.

Love the graphs - they help me to realize that I don't have a clue yet what's going to be most effective for me, and I need to do some testing! Very insightful!
