Which auto-responder is best to use? I've read that AWeber doesn't like home business, business opportunity, network marketing, MLM, or internet marketing related lists. Is that true? If so, who should I use?

    People use GetRespons, AWeber a lot. I am not sure about AWeber not liking IM but there are many successful players who use GetResponse.

    Without these people they wouldn't have much of a business.

    In my humble opinion, AWeber is a great auto-responder platform. I've never used Get Response, but I hear it is a great platform too. I've used Constant Contact for over 10 years in one of my businesses, and have started using AWeber last year in my Information Marketing business.

    You may want to make a list of the services you expect your auto-responder company to perform for you and then do a side by side comparison of each company to see which meets your goals and expectations.

    most lists I've subscribed to use either Aweber or Getresponse..so it's probably safe for the IM niche. I Googled this and it brought up a good review comparing the two

    Aweber is probably the best. I don't think they look down on those niches. There's no rules against it and they get paid so why not?

    Not exactly. It's kind of based on something realistic, but it's not quite accurate.

    No autoresponder business likes customers whose outgoing emails incur spam reports, because they jeopardize the delivery-rates on which their entire business of "sending receivable emails" depends.

    The observable and fairly reliable reality is that marketers who are involved in the specific areas you've mentioned do characteristically incur higher spam-complaint-rates, overall, than other/"average" users of the service. And that's why many autoresponder services have something of a reputation for watching that kind of activity fairly closely and being very quick to bring it to their customers' attention if what they're sending out apparently has the potential to cause any problems. That's a good thing, though, not a bad thing, for all their other customers.

    Aweber will only cause you a problem over this if what you're sending out is causing them a problem.

    No that is something not possible. However like any other good autoresponder aweber will not like spammer as it impacts the delivery rate of the autoresponder. Most of the successful IM player are still using aweber. I myself don't use aweber but few of the marketer's list I am subscribed to are using aweber and getresponse.

    Aweber is fine with Internet Marketing. What they are not fine with is people who spam their lists with hyped up offers each and every day of the week.

    So long as you are treating your list like real people, you should have no issues.

    If, your running a MLM or business opp, your going need your own self-hosting. Another bad site is that their might be learning curve for the actual putting up the site. This whole industry is about learning in the beginning, middle, and a professional status no matter where you are at.

    You can always learn something new.
