Aweber Versus FeedBurner for bloggers Which One Is the Right For My Blog?
Why did I select Aweber as my newsletter software about the free FeedBurner or FeedBlitz service? I've thought a little about this before taking the plunge, especially since choosing between free and the d fare is never easy for someone on a tight budget! Perhaps my thought could help someone else who is considering sending an email to their blog.
One of the decisions I had to make when considering the configuration of my new bulletin was whether I should use FeedBurner, see how to use Feedblitz or find some other newsletter software.
FeedBurner has several advantages.
I know him well
It might be nice to have a visible subscriber account chicklet
It's free!
Less maintenance just published on the blog.
Easy to implement, copy and paste, work done
Subscribers trust it
It's easy to subscribe to
The problem is that these advantages were exceeded by the following 10 points compared to the use of FeedBurner and in favor of Aweber
There is no customization available with FeedBurner, not even the subject of the email! [EDIT: now let the subject of the email change]
You can not personalize, not even "Hi Chris."
People who use various email services have complained that FeedBurner delivered emails with errors: their support staff was courteous, but if your program can not process it, there is no solution available.
I wanted an email bulletin plus a sequence of articles. In addition to news, I will be sending a series of educational publications.
On the line, I'll want to further segment the list, it's not something I can do, even in a limited way with FeedBurner
Services like Aweber have unparalleled delivery rates, I do not want to risk it
I have complete control over the appearance, even with the ability to write separate versions unformatted HTML.
The provision for "thank you" pages, etc. It allows me to see where people fight or leave school. I'm a test and statistics geek.
Programming is under my control, with FeedBurner and competitors there is no control or is limited
In the future, I will be able to import subscribers and add them manually, for example, from business card drops in conferences, etc.
To top it off, Aweber has introduced a service that can read your RSS and publish it to subscribers.
