Aweber clicktracking down?

21 replies
I'm getting emails from subscribers that Awebers links are not working in emails at the moment & just tested one & it didn't work. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Hi Mark, I just tested and got the same results. The page just won't load at the moment.

    It started about 12 hours or more ago. I first found out from Darren Rowse about the mess.

      Same problem here, had to turn off click tracking on lots of messages to avoid support issues.

      The Aweber site was down for maintenance a couple of hours a day or two ago, maybe it has something to do with that?

      Same problem here - just sent a mailing to over 1,000 subscribers and the clicktracked links are NOT working.

      Having changed to Aweber to get better reliability of delivery and clciktracking information this is outrageous.

        No option but to resend to my list with clicktracking turned off and hope that works and apologise profusely.

        Why no notification from Aweber about server/maintenance issues?

        Wonder what Aweber will offer as compensation?
        I'll bet the small print only guarantees 99.9% uptime or something similar.

          Working OK with clicktracking turned off - so at least email delivery is OK.

          Have raised a ticket with Aweber but no reply and nothing on their twitter page either (probably not up yet)

            Now started working - maybe they restarted the server?

            Looks like the links they created for tracking purposes were valid but not being redirected to the right page (just a blank) when someone clicked them.

          You have the privilege of being able to say you use Aweber.

          Isn't that enough? :rolleyes:

    This seems to be a recurring issue with them.

    They said the site would be down for maintenance yesterday at night, I think they screwed something up when they were updating...

    It's definitely working... I made some sales from an email I sent at 9 am EST

      Aweber seems to be going down more frequently lately. I receive monitoring alerts when their domain goes down, and get a monthly monitoring summary. They were down two days ago on 12/02 for about an hour (10:08 - 11:08 AM). You couldn't access the website, and click-tracking was dead. Not sure what's going on.

      ------------
      The system confirmed 11 failed checks at 5 minute intervals starting at December 2, 2009 10:08:54

      Alert Type: Site is Available
      Result: Ok
      Time: December 2, 2009 11:08:16
      HostName/URL: aweber.com
      Monitor Name: Aweber
      Service: http
