Many of you are aware that Aweber allows you to place a simple line of Javascript code into your web pages to get your web subscription form to show in that location.
I am still seeing sites that are missing a critical opportunity.
Well guess what?
If the person viewing your opt-in area is using a browser with the JS turned off (Firefox commonly has this feature turned off)...then your form is nowhere to be found.
My guess is marketers are using the simple JS code because it allows them to make changes from one location (their Aweber login area). Also, the JS code is one simple line of code...unlike the HTML version (still available), which is a bit more code.
In the past, using the HTML version also did not allow some tracking functions within Aweber. That has been improved recently.
Possible solutions?
1) Place a line of copy right below your form that says something like "Can't see the form above? Click Here..." and link "Click Here" to a web based version of the form. This has been mentioned on this forum before if my memory serves (possible that it doesn't thought ).
2) Use the HTML version on your opt-in pages. According to my tests in 4 different browsers the forms show 100% of the time. If you have hundreds of opt-in pages, this may not be feasible.
Just thought I would re-introduce this to everyone.

Update: As of today, 05/04/2009, there are current IM Product LAUNCHES with opt-in pages that have this very problem existing...and I imagine it's probably costing them opt-ins.
