hi guys just wanting some opinons on weather double opt in is the way to go. my opinion it is better, but on the other hand you can also loose lots of leads from people simply not logging into their email and clicking the double opt in link. what do you think.

    I learned the technique from one of the subscriber master internet marketing, and he explained if you want to use the technique of collecting emails and also to search for singe opt in leads to use it ... because visitors mostly do not like if you have to do click on the activation link ..

    CPAs in business, I used to use a single OPT IN, so after visitors fill out a form will be directly in to the CPA Offer rediret

    Hey

    Email addresses on a (single) opt-in list are not confirmed. Anybody can submit anybody's address to the list, and it will be there until it is unsubscribed.

    On a double opt-in list, all email address must be confirmed before they are added. A request for confirmation is sent to the submitted address and the address owner must take some action to confirm that

    She is the owner of the email address
    The address is working and she indeed wants to subscribe


    Most often, the confirmation action is as simple as replying to the confirmation request or clicking on a link.

    hope this helps


    Thanks
    Davy

    double opt-in definately, you will find that your list will hopefully be more responsive as those who are not genuinely not interested will in all probability not go to the trouble of confirming twice.

    I use a double opt-in for a number of reasons. All of the reasons listed above for double opt-ins are valid, but my main reason for using a double opt-in is for my own protection. I don't send anywhere near enough emails to my lists for it be considered spamming, but once the government started cracking down on the anti-spam laws I made sure all of my lists were double opt-ins. It just gives me an added layer of protection should someone be having a bad day and my email happens to be the thing that makes them blow their stack.
