Trevor,
Looks like you are also getresponse user. So far I feel their service is good.
My growing concern is the delivery rate. Also the pop up window with a picture on it. Do you think the pop up will affect your affiliate business?Here a lot of people recommmend aweber. I also asked Tom for his suggestions. So far there are pro and cons for each service. Could you let me know your suggestions and experience with getresponse? Why do you choose to stay with them?
Thanks.
