[...] 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.

Cheers,

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?

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?

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.
