Aweber Is Against Viral Friend Generator And Others?

WOW! I just found out something interesting!

All this while, there has been a lot of buzz about Tell A Friend script. Viral Friend Generator has been given much attention but there are other services like Viral Friend Dominator (free) and TAFPro that are “competing” in the same market.

However, there has been another issue between Aweber and these Tell-a-Friend features and let’s just say that it is not entirely thumbs up.

I have a copy of Viral Friend Generator (VFG) script and in the VFG “how to use” video, there is a mention of Aweber but if you are integrating Viral Friend Generator with Aweber, be very careful.

Read what Aweber has to say about their stand on Tell A Friend script here:

http://www.aweber.com/…tell-a-friend-forms-are-not-opt-in.htm

I know that Aweber is highly recommended by lots of marketers out there, but will this issue change what they think about Aweber decision?

So, if you are an Aweber member and using some sort of tell-a-friend feature on your website, take note on this matter.

I don’t know about how GetResponse thinks about Tell-A-Friend script, but if you have some insider information, please let me know.

warmly,

Zamri Nanyan

ps. I’ve been weighing between Aweber and GetResponse for quite some time for my next autoresponder.

Is what Scott Boulch saying about Viral Friend Dominator true?

Is it a marketing tactic?

Frankly, I have no say on this one!

Cikgu Azleen,

There are a few good ones out there such as Aweber, GetResponse and 1ShoppingCart.

You can see that I mentioned Aweber and GetResponse here, and both of them are highly recommended. I tested both and am deciding either one of them based on what features I’m looking for. You see that I want to use Tell A Friend script but there is a bit of a problem with Aweber.

The abovementioned services are not free but you should consider paid subscription in the future once your business grows (it makes sense to opt for paid subscription even if you are just starting out too because it is not that expensive).

But, if you really want a free one, try FreeAutobot.com. It’s the one that I used to learn how to use autoresponder.

Hope that helps!

I suggest go for Aweber or MarketerChoice. The free one not realiable for long term usage. About the Tell-A-Friend Script, I have to remove it from my site since Aweber announced that news.
