How come that Aweber is not mentioned in any of the top reviews for email marketing services?

Marian Berghes · 07-06-2009, 04:57 PM

I just looked on google on a bunch of review sites...some very known ones some not so, but the deal is that on the ones that I looked Aweber is not present in ANY of them.

Getresponse is tho, and so is iContact, Benchmark Email, Mailchimp...but no Aweber.

Why?

Hi Marian,

Maybe because of the low commission?

Not sure what the others pay out, but you'll need
quite a few sign-ups to make a decent recurring
payout each month with Aweber!

Cheers, Pete

Yeah that might be so, but there's still sites like TopTenReviews.com , witch is an old site and a authority site in the product review area.

I don't think they would just make up top 10 rankings for the last 6 years just to get commissions.

Pete223 · 07-06-2009, 08:32 PM

Fair and valid point!

Although ultimately, even though they do it VERY well (product reviews),
I think commissions are exactly why they do it!

Kindest Regards,
Pete

There are a ton of good, solid companies out there that are not on a single review site. Keep in mind that the vast majority of review sites are extremely biased (even the ones that say "tested" or "objective"). I don't lend a whole lot of credibility to review sites unless it's from someone who's judgment has proven itself to me over time.

If you can find a review site that doesn't have an affiliate link then you an be sure that it is an honest review site. Remember that review sites are primarily set up by marketers who are marketing to make money. If there is little or no commission there is really no point in them promoting it.

That probably is the reason why it is not mentioned. Personally I like Aweber. Ive been using them for over 2 years now.

iContact pays great commissions

There should be some pretty good 'reviews' of it out there.
