Autoresponder and Yahoo email

February 12, 2009

Probably you often hear some or even almost autoresponder and email marketing services suggest avoid using Yahoo email to subscribe to their newsletter. Since Yahoo email regularly blocks emails from all autoresponder services. That is why every autoresponder service will tell you never to use a yahoo email. Yahoo has extreme settings on their spam filters.

If a single lazy yahoo user clicks the "This Is Spam" button (instead of unsubscribing) then yahoo will defer all mail for 72 hours from that IP. That is why almost autoresponder services recommend always using gmail or your own domain. All autoresponder services have this problem with yahoo.

I have tested several autoresponders such as icontact, infusionsoft, ebizac, norabots, and rapidresponsebot. Yahoo puts emails from these autoresponder services to spam folder. In some cases, email deliverability doesn't work and we have not receive the confirmation link, etc. Or email deliverability delayed for a couple of hours or even days.

According to my testing I only got problem with its deliverability delay, usually I receive emails from those autoresponders, but not instant, it delayed for a couple of hours or even days.

Autoresponder services - no problem with Yahoo

But there’re also quite many professional autoresponder services that work well with Yahoo email. Of course much more than I know, currently I just have two top recommendations for you: GetResponse and Aweber.

Aweber costs $19 monthly for 0 - 500 subscribers, $29 monthly for 501 - 2,500 subscribers. You need to pay more simultaneously your subscribers increase.

GetResponse is different, no need to pay more despite you have more subscribers. GetResponse has its flat rate $17.95 per month or $145.40 for 1 year. You can try GetResponse for free by clicking “Sign up for free” link on their website. Free account get access to email marketing and autoresponder service for unlimited time, but free member has limited features, to access more benefits and features you must upgrade your account.

If you're price conscious

If you're price conscious, I have one top recommendation for you, it’s Rapidresponsebot. Currently Rapidresponsebot offers special price for their autoresponder service: $4.08 per month - regularly $9.95, or $49 per year. You may also try Rapidresponsebot for free, free registration link can be found on the bottom of Rapidresponsebot’s website.

I upgraded my account after I tried Rapidresponsebot for free in a couple of weeks. I am quite satisfy with their services during I use free Rapidresponsebot. I hope my decision to become upgraded member will give more valuable to my business, since I can access full features of Rapidresponsebot service. I think Rapidresponsebot is good choice for who have low budget to start email marketing. Visit Rapidresponsebot.
