Maybe it's a dodgy technique or something that I'm not 100% sure about. The reason is different depending on the particular thing I’m writing about.

Sending them straight to Aweber is possibly breaking the Aweber ToS (though some parts are in the FAQ or a little vague) as I didn't specifically enter an email into a box to receive a newsletter. I know the method you use is used by some sites under different circumstances, as an example managing a membership mailing list, or customer list after a purchase. At that stage there is a different level of expectation from a user, there is a business relationship.

Naughty but since I'm giving all this information away for free and not using the list for other things I think (hope) I'm justified. :-) Vinay you are 100% right I know the layout isn't very good for getting newsletter subscribers. Need to work on that. Andy I use a plugin to send those, they should only ever get sent once and never to people who already subscribe.

I would suggest you not to place them next to each other! Design an icon "Weekly SEO Newsletter" with 'Sign Up!' on it and place the box below this image. Would attract lot of signups, at least help people differentiate what’s RSS by E-Mail and SEO Newsletter. Regular visitors are comfortable with present layout but think about potential new visitors, whom you want to sign up! Use Google Optimizer to test the results of success :) I'm sure this should increase the Newsletter subscriber base & also having an RSS icon bigger than one now might get visitors attraction. My recommendations - http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/02/rss-best-design-practices-and-icons/ & http://www.designbliss.com/2007/09/27/over-25-different-styles-of-rss-icons/ Choose the one you like and something that looks unique :)!
