What autoresponder do you use?

18 years ago

I've used Aweber for a few years now and love it. Haven't tried Getresponse so I can't really vouch for it but I would tell my mates about Aweber

Thanks

Aweber. It was the first I found and I have stuck with it. I really dislike the ads in the free getresponse.

I use both aweber and Get Response. I just like having a backup. :-)

Both work great but my long time favorite is aweber.

  I have used both and prefer Getresponse which I still use purely for ease of use - or maybe I'm just more familiar with GR.
  
  I hear Aweber have the best delivery rates though which has got to be most important.
  
  Thanks

As Mal Keenan was saying .. aweber seems to have the best delivery rate.

I mean, Yahoo spam filter would rather trust 1m emails coming from a well known website rather than from one random IP/server hosting a 2 days old domain ...

Any thoughts on this?

I think the answer is a YES. I didn't try it but as long as it is a web application it can run on any web server.

It's $197, which is only 10 months of aweber. And, they say, you own your list. I don't understand that completely, yet. Sounds like aweber does not let you import your list db to local?

Anyway, 10 mos. to break even. I like the sound of that.

I use an autoresponder that is hosted on my server and has given me high deliverability so far. It isn't the best solution, but until my list gets really big this is working quite well for me.

I was leaning toward aweber but with the increased prices and problems they've had lately, my little solution gives me time to decide.

I use aweber but I'm starting to have second thoughts about them lately. A personal hosted solution is great... until you get a few spam complaints and have your server end up on all the RBL's out there (blacklists). That's a lot of fun cleaning up that mess.

I think it's worth it to pay a service. In our world, email is mission critical. Not worth the risk running it yourself unless you have multiple servers and the know how to manage them, etc.

Also, when you run your own software and go to switch to aweber, or whatever, they have to confirm their subscription again. You're likely to lose a good chunk (maybe 30%) of those subscribers. Something to think about.

Some good thoughts, but in reality you run into that with any service.Basically you are paying aweber to run cleanup with the blacklist services instead of you, and for a lot of people paying for that service alone is worth it.

Right, but the difference is, services like aweber have multiple servers. They are usually "OK" with the major RBL lists (the lists understand their business) and if one of their servers is blacklisted, they can remove it from the rotation which will keep the continued delivery rate high.

I'm not saying DON'T use a private script. I just think in the long run, paying for a service is the smart way to go. Of course, this is just my $0.02

You forgot to mention horrible delivery rates over time (unless you have GR or Aweber's expertise on ensuring high delivery rates).

And yes, I've tested it and used it.

Use both GR and Aweber.

Preferred Aweber at first because of its more streamlined interface. Now I wish I would've stuck with GR because it seems to get the job done just as fine. And it's cheaper.

Yeah, it seems most people use aweber or at least aweber is one of their autoresponders.

But very good inputs though..

Thanks!
