Do you know where they live and do you have a handgun? lol

With such a high rate of unverified subscribers, maybe you should take a look at your confirmation email. What does it say? Always provide value even if you are just asking for the confirmation.

Why do you want someone to join your list that doesn't want to be on your list? just asking.....

My best to you.

With AWeber, you cannot communicate with unverified
leads because they have not confirmed their opt-in.

That's the way it should be.

If so many people are not confirming their subscription,
then it sounds like a flaw in your process somewhere.

Take a look at the desireability of the free gift you're
offering and the copy you're using on the web page and
confirmation e-mail.

I recently ran a solo ad and I use aweber and double opt-in. When I ran this solo ad I received about 150 subscribers but only about half confirmed registration. I talked to the person who ran the ad and they suggested I switch to single opt. I changed it on this list as its a 7 day course so I don't think someone will send the wrong email to 'get a free download' b/c there is no download, lol. So I switched that particular list to single opt-in. What I started doing after that was going back and writing the email addys done (this sucked, but what am I too do). Then I enter them into my form myself. However, you have to wait like 3 days since the last time they 'subscribed', also Aweber will only allow 10 email addy's to be added from the same IP each day, rather you enter them on your form or from your control panel. You could try to add them using the 'import' option, but I tried this when I switched to Aweber and found it hard to use.

If you're doing anything business related, I recommend double optin. First, you can shield yourself from spam complaints.

Second, if you do any kind of JV deals with people, some folks only want to do biz with people who have double optin lists....
Lastly, think about Double Opting in a a prequalification process.

If they don't click on a confirmation link while they are "fresh", you wont' have to worry about them continually opening up emails and click on buy buttons way down the line - IMHO

From my reading of this, there's a good chance that the unverified email addresses just haven't got to the right people.

They could just be invalid email addresses.

More likely, they could end up in a spam folder. If you're not in a tech savvy market, people just won't spot these. You need to look at the email that's sent and see how you can make sure it's delivered.

Yes. Switch your campaign to Single Opt-in System or else just look at your confirmation email. your email content and subject is important for your unverified subscribers to confirm the link to get rolling.
