What's a good verified/unverified email ratio for Aweber?

Pnigro · 08-15-2009, 07:29 PM

Just wondering.

What percentage of verified emails should I aim for?

What do you consider good?

70%?

80%?

90%?

My current verified e-mail subscriber ratio is between 60% and 70%! I think anything over 75% would be GREAT!

I'd aim for 100%

Yeah, but my question is, is 70% good or bad? How about 80%?

Kyle Tully · 08-15-2009, 08:30 PM

I've never gone below 90%.

But like anything, it's going to depend on your market, your offer, and how you "sell" the confirmation.

Aweber just removed my single opt in due to spam complaints and only about 40% of my suscribers confirm.

What's more important is your conversion ratio (opt-in to conversion ratio). Also, keep in mind you still have a lot of "bots" that will try and opt-in, there's some really sophisticated spamware that spammers use (so you will never, ever have a 100% opt-in rate).

Aweber now has a default thank you page that reminds people to check their e-mail.

Want to BOOST your confirm ratio? Create a short video / audio that reminds them to check their email right away so that they can confirm and then you'll send them a bonus for doing so. I usually send them a short report and/or audio / video with some useful content. That has boosted my confirmation ratio big time across multiple niches. It flat out works.

In your case I can almost assure you that you can increase the 40% rate.

Will do, thanks.

Wow,

You never go below 90%? I am always hovering near 50%...And that is with an ebook when you confirm...

How do you get your rate so high?

DING!

I would add that your traffic source has significant influence as well. I've seen huge differences within the same market, based on where the traffic came from. For example. you'll tend to get higher confirmation rates if your visitors are more technically experienced, are careful readers, or were referred through another list that requires confirmation.

I saw this thread and thought I would put this months figures here.

Looking at my Aweber list of unconfirmed whom did not double option for this month so far May. 21 days to date. 68 % double opt in
Addresses not opted in

@yahoo.com variation .co.uk .in etc 268
@gmail.com 223
@hotmail.com 110
@rediffmail.com 32
@aol 10
@comcast 5
@xtra.co.nz 5
The balance 1's and 2s Isp addresses msn windowslive googlemail etc

On awebers site they reference a study up to 35 % of addresses are faked. Which from the little test.As below. I believe my visitors get a very good free offer and give me a real address to get the download.

So I downloaded my aweber unconfirmed CVs and emailed a section of 72 of the above people and 3sfggdffrrldgs@gmail.com afdasfddfdfgmldsa@hotmail.com sgfddsgGHehclc@yahoo.com( 3 fake addresses) and asked them why they did not op in. I got 4 bounces to the 3 address above and one other Yahoo address. So that leads me to the obvious conclusions they are real address as of 6 hours later not one reply. I guess thats why they did not optin.

Ideas to here get the double op-tins up would be good. I do wonder how many get filtered into spam boxes or undelivered to the 3 biggies.

	Thought About Offline Consulting? Fiona - $5,500 + $600/m 1st Week... Anthony - $7k + $594/m... Liz - $12k 1st Month... Rob - $7k + $800/ 1st Month... Scott - $45,000 in 3m... 20/yo Jock 6-Figure Client 2nd Month Don't you deserve the same unfair advantage?
