Techies >>> Best way to "integrate" Aweber w/ my membership site?
I'm going to start a membership site soon, and would like to set it up to where new members have to double opt-in to my mailing list before they can access the site. Here's the thing... I would like to use Aweber or Get Response for this (instead of the email function built into my membership script), as I don't want the headaches that come with sending out large volumes of emails at once from my own server.
I'm not sure about Get Response, but from what I understand you can not directly integrate membership scripts w/ Aweber. So with that said, here's what I would like to do... Set it up so that my script generates a unique log-in password for each new member based on the email address that they use to sign up with (via the Aweber form on my site), AFTER they double opt-in.
From what I understand, you can pass CGI forward variables (such as a users email address) to your custom sign up page. Then set a cookie on that page that contains their email address. Then once they get to the custom confirmation success page, grab their email address from the cookie and use it to generate a unique log-in password.
But the problem with that method is, not everyone keeps cookies enabled.
So... any other ideas or suggestions, or might that be the best way to do it?
Thanks!
