I won't even start the 2nd paragraph if a newsletter starts like that. 2) Lack of content or annoying mention of providing content without actually providing value (click this link for more...nope.) 3) Poor writing: Many spelling mistakes, slang no-capital/no-punctuation, unclear sentences, bad grammer = unsubscribe as soon as I can. 4) Inundation. More than two emails a week, unless it's really time sensitive stuff...you're going to annoy me. 5) I signed up to learn about a very specific thing for a project or activity. This one you can do nothing about...it's short lived because the need was real but short lived. (I also wanted to add that I've never linked to the freebie from your site...I but I came here in search of freebies as that is the focus of my blog: http://www.generopolis.com/wpblog) Of the above list, font size and lots of graphics make no difference to me personally...but it obviously does to the other unsubscriber. <abbr><em>TheBeams last blog post..<a href="http://generopolis.com/wpblog/2009/01/10/free-soyjoy-bars/" rel="nofollow">Free SoyJoy Bars</a></abbr></em> I have to agree with that list and my top peeves are:

I have been an unsubscribing machine lately. The top reason I unsubscribe is "too salesy". One IMer was sending out minimum 2 emails a day pitching different products. More than a little excessive!
