Aweber autoresponder service is one of the most established email marketing autoresponder companies available. They have a strong expertise in email deliverability. Getting emails delivered these days is no easy task especially when you are managing over 80,000 autoresponder accounts which collectively send out millions of emails.

I registered an account with them about 1 year ago and quickly developed a list of over 30,000 confirmed opt in subscribers to my newsletters. I am not new to email marketing so from the very beginning I set my lists to be confirmed opt in. This means that once someone subscribes they then have to go their email client and click a confirmation link to make sure it was really them who signed up for the newsletter. This creates a much cleaner list.

Autoresponder companies say that you can import subscribers from other sources but I know this is a large source of complains so I avoided this problem all together by simply no importing any subscribers into the system.

So subscribers just went to my website, registered for my newsletter, received the confirmation email, clicked the link and subscribed. I never imported any prospects into the system. All my subscribers joined using this method. I thought I was following the rules. I thought I was practicing safe email marketing. Apparently not.

While I was on vacation in Paris I tried to log into my account. Here is what I saw “Sorry! The account you’ve tried to access is no longer active. Typically this is because you asked to close the account. If that’s not the case, it may have been closed due to an overdue invoice, or a violation of our terms of service (such as attempting to send spam). ”

Heart attack time. What happened to my account? I had their forms on hundreds of webpages. I was averaging about 200 confirmed opt in subscribers per day with this account. I had a sick feeling in my gut. I knew that had deleted my account. Aweber is not known for second chances either. I feared the inevitable. Somehow I had violated some terms of service and they had deleted my account.

I checked my email account and saw their email. It turns out that they deleted my account without any warning because I simply had mentioned the topic of co-registration marketing. Aweber said they did not “believe” in co-registration marketing almost as if email marketing was some sort of religion with a belief system. They did not cancel my account because I tried to use co-registration leads with Aweber in any way. They just did not like the fact that I talked about this form of marketing in an email.
