One thing NOT to do in your newsletter 🙅
A maybe controversial take...
Today, we’re talking about a trend that's supposed to boost your revenue but might actually be sabotaging your success:
Linking advertiser logos at the top of your newsletter.
It seems like a no-brainer, right? Make that shiny logo clickable, and watch the CPC money roll in.
But here's the catch: your readers have zero context about where that click will take them.
Take a look at the below example 👇
Without any supporting ad copy or assets, you’re setting your advertiser’s landing page up for failure. Sure, the advertiser gets a click, but is it really worth anything?
This only leads to:
Confused readers 🤔
High bounce rates 💨
Low-quality traffic for advertisers 📉
Our recommendation? Only add links to the high-quality, contextual ad placements.
You’ll build trust with your audience, deliver value to your advertisers, and actually earn more in the long run.
