In Response To: Re: Aweber, GetResponse, Proautoresponder (David)

This is just about the most important choice an online marketer can make.

Do not mess with your extremely valuable prospect and customer data and don't make your decision on price.

After testing various free and paid services and also packaged services (and losing a whole list in one sorry episode) I have gone with aweber too and they are proving to be excellent.

One other issue to bear in mind when making your choice not mentioned so far is user friendliness for your prospects. I used the double opt-in autoresponders that were part of Bryan Winters' generally excellent PBP service but the way the link clicking and account naming service worked I was getting e-mails from customers who didn't know what they had subscribed to and / or couldn't work out how to join / leave a list.

Honestly, don't waste any more time thinking about it if you are in the market for an AR service - just join aweber now. A bargain really at just $19.95 a month....

cheers
