Saw that no one answered your question.

as far as I know, anyone that signs up to your list is able to receive emails from you. I signed up with one of my emails like that and i got emails.

Yea I would use aWeber if I were you.. I used icontact for a while and upgraded but after sending out a few email blasts, i ran into a cap where either I stop sending emails of pay per email that i’m sending out.

aWeber doesn’t have a cap on messages you can send out. Of course you have to use common sense when having a list because they will cancel your account. Great way to make money though

I have been looking into Aweber and seems to get positive reviews. I guess the only way to see how good it is, is to sign up and check it out.

Aweber really is a great service and their email deliverability is excellent. Unfortunately they are very quick to pull the plug on your account if somehow you are perceived as violating their TOS. It has happened to a number of marketers including me. I prefer to run my own scripts and use other paid autoresponder services who seem to value my business more. There is a lot you can do on your own to improve email deliverability. I have learned not to put all my eggs in one basket. Too bad because I really liked Aweber.

does aweber allow sending to mail groups or yahoogroups? or generic email addresses such as sales@? i know some autoresponders don’t allow this.

I finally decided to set up Aweber right today.

Thanks for the info, Yaro.

I’m on aweber. However, I got grandfathered in at much lower prices.

Guess what though?

They don’t update any of my features on the old prices. Even though I still pay them every month, if I want any updates I have to pay them 7x as much money every month.

And when I tried to post this annoyance on their blog, they removed it. So… I wouldn’t trust any company that filters negative comments.

Conclusion: Aweber is lame. They treat you bad as a customer.

Between the many worlds of autorepsonders
it’s really a great idea to take advantage of the
trial offers that they offer. But overall one has to
have an agenda and understand autoresponders.

I’ve used Constant Contact, 1ShoppingCart and
Aweber. Just to name a few and they all have
their benefits.

The best benefit to look at when selecting your
autoresponder is your growth. For example, I
believe as your list grows so does your monthly
fees with Aweber. As for 1ShoppingCart it’s a
flat monthly fee with up to 10,000 subscribers.

I’ve seen my colleagues not mail because it cost
them X amount for the number of subscribers. They
don’t want to waste mailings on those who don’t ever
open their messages. Big mistake.

Do your research thoroughly, include growth and
add on fees.

Have an excellent week!

I totally agree that aweber is the best among the other Autoresponders.2 days ago i was directed to a mail service(an ads or e-mail,can not remember)they had no autoresponder,just collecting emails and send them.And surprisingly their price was about the sama aweber.So i can say that aweber worths the money we pay.

Great information,thanks.

Four years on and Aweber still dominates. That is an eternity in internet time, and testimonial to how good they are at what they do. I will not recommend anybody else, ever.

AT the end of the day, what you pay for is what you get….

my first autoresponder was a free one…

and i was shocked to find that they actually sent XTRA emails with their own ads…

my second cost me $5 – but it was spartan, and deliverability was poor.

then i tried a slightly better one, but still lacked some of the professional tracking that internet marketing requires…

so eventually, aweber was the only logical choice…

just my 0.02c

Hello Dan Hughes,
Please share with me what other companies provide API support. Truly grateful. Been searching for the best email manager, like aweber.

[...] already read a some ebooks recommending Aweber and after checking a few reviews by Yaro and Darren Rowse, my mind was made up. Aweber is undoubtedly the best autoresponder to start out [...]

I am getting spammed through my AWeber email address – I will end up “paying” for these sign ups should they follow through the opt in. Can I make my …@aweber.com email addresses disfunctional/inactive as I don’t use them. This is cause for great concern.

I am using Aweber, too. I have to say this service is great for email marketing advertising. Nice statistics and analysing tools.

Hi Yaro

Thank you for this article. There is integration option in AWEBER that is from aweber subscription to feedburner. Is is possible to do with any other autoresponder facility?

Have you found any issues with importing existing lists due to the double opt in policy? Have you had any mass unsubscribes when importing these “older” contacts and needing them to resubscribe?

By: Karl

Karl — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 05:58:35 +0000

Hello everyone, and especially Yaro!

Thank for all these great tips, I am planning to subscribe to AWeber because of this review. Now my question is: AWeber is a good tool as an Email autoresponder, but is there another automation software that you need to use when a customer decides to purchase your product? Is there a software that recognizes the sale and forwards the product? Thanks for all the help!

Aweber has a good system, but like many big companies, they tend to deny that there are any flaws in their service. There were several days that I noticed Aweber’s web site was unreliable. On one of those days, it started having problems right after I imported a large list, about 4000 names. This meant my subscribers couldn’t confirm their subscription. After a week, less than 4% of my list had confirmed. I contacted Aweber, and they admitted the website was having problems, but denied that this had any impact on the service. I understand that errors can happen, but I expect for them to be honest about it and try to make up for the problem in some way. Anyway, just be aware that this is another big impersonal company that is good at appearing friendly, until you have a real problem.

What about free options for autoresponders–freeautobot, razorbot, etc.? Have you tried using those prior to Aweber?

By: Dan Hughes

Dan Hughes — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 01:01:19 +0000

I used Aweber for years… and they were fine. There support was always really very good. I was really sad to learn that they do not offer API support so I had to switch. With API support (and a good freelance programmer) you are able to integrate email capture into a *lot* more things than just a newsletter sign-up or opt-in box. You can also call your list from other applications which makes analytics much easier and more meaningful. There are several companies that offer API support. I don’t want to link drop here, so if you are interested Google it, or drop me a line.

Yaro I wanted to give you an update which amends your review of 1SC vs 1AW in regards to Email Deliverability. You said that aweber had superior email deliverability and that was a factual statement – in 2006.

However you need to let your readers know that it’s just not the case any longer and hasn’t been for a while now.

It’s true that aweber did have great email deliverability, and still do – but they are not superior to 1SC or 1SC’s partner web sites.

1SC and it’s private label partners because a 2x optin verified provider in early 2007 and the game changed.

Currently 1SC consistently shows confirmed email deliverability rates of 98% on it’s 2x opin servers. Statistically that’s the very best any email provider can achieve.

So while aweber is a great service with great deliverability, they by far aren’t the only autoresponder service out with excellent email deliverability rates.

Thanks

I agree with Yaro in the comparisons of 1ShoppingCart and Aweber. Having used both, Aweber fits the practicality of my small business.

Thanks for the heads up about the RSS. I’ll go get more info about it. What I’m really interested in is the script(?) that runs at the very top of this page. How is that done?

Thanks.

I looked at aweber and am leaning towards using it because of this review and because Perry Marshall uses it also. However, I am not sure if it can integrate with a joomla site. Anyone have experience with this?

I have tried about a dozen different autoresponders in my time and Aweber is the winner in my mind. As a marketer I know for a fact that they have one of the lowest reversal rates which speaks volumes in my mind. Still I dont believe there delivery rate is accurate.
