Geographic Variables

When subscribers opt in to your list, AWeber captures their IP address. Based on this IP address, for most subscribers we can capture geographic information which you can use to personalize your messages.

This geographic data is based on the subscriber's IP address, which will not always match where they are physically located. It is an approximate measure, so please use it accordingly.

RSS Variables

These variables pull information from an RSS feed that you've set up. Using the Feed Element allows you to incorporate content from your blog, podcast, youtube channel and other content feeds without needing to use these variables; however, if you use RSS variables for your coded HTML message, the different RSS variables will display particular content from your RSS feed.
