Aweber Archives


There is a good chance that you may be letting potential subscribers to your email list slip through your fingers. It has nothing to do with your copy writing skills or the way your squeeze pages look. It is because of the popularity that Firefox web browser has gained and one of it's most widely used add ons.

This may or may not effect you depending on which autoresponder you use and how you add your autoresponder code to your squeeze page. I use Aweber as do a great majority of the Internet marketers that I know. When you create a web form in Aweber you click on a link to get the html code to put on your site.

The page defaults to a "Javascript Snippet" which is recommended. The reason for this is because you can make changes to the form and you don't have to make any changes on your website. The other option is the "Raw HTML Version". This code is easily customizable. You can change the look and feel of the optin form to better match your website.

I think that most people go with the recommended "Javascript Snippet" which can be a very costly error. Let me explain why. Firefox has become very popular and I would say that it is more popular amongst Internet marketers than IE. The number 1 downloaded add on for Firefox is called "AdBlockPlus".

This cool little add on blocks all kinds of advertisements which slow down your browsing. It blocks banners as well as javascripts that power a lot of advertisements. It will also block out your opt in form. Your squeeze page will show up with everything except for the little boxes where people enter their name and email address.

Now, I don’t mind saying that I am a pretty well organised individual and I am a very good planner and I am methodical. However…

… I too am struggling to cope with everything.

Some time back I made the comment that people were trying to squeeze three years of activity into three months. Alex saw that comment and mentioned it in one of his webinars.

The BIG obstacle that just about everybody faces is TIME.

How can we get everything that needs to be done… done?

So many people have to work all day, run businesses, attend to home demands, attend to family demands, accede to the requests of our friends etc, etc and yet STILL try to find time to build an internet business. And here is what I think…

… I think we are all getting frustrated that everything is taking so long to do. Let’s see…
