7 Reasons Why Aweber is Better than Feedburner
Posted on 30. Apr, 2010 by Vivek Krishnan in Blog Tips
Google Feedburner is one of the most popular email delivery services that are offered to bloggers. The service is free and easily imlemented. But a time comes in every bloggers career when he needs to improve his game, and go up a level in blogging. Because no matter what you say services like Aweber have made Google Feedburner look pretty childish and leave the blogger with a lot to ask for. In this post I will mention 7 reasons why a blogger should prefer Aweber over the tradition Google Feedburner.
Customization: Google Feedburner allows you zero customization of your email – except may be the color and select few fonts. But more importantly, you CANNOT edit the email subject.
Personalization: If you have a personalized email then it will help improve your brand. You can personalize the content, look and feel- everything with Aweber. You can go right up to editing the HTML code/ plain version.
Article Sequence: This point is an important one. You can have a preset article sequence for every new subscriber you have. If you want to create a series for every subscriber you get – it is not possible with the Google Feedburner. But with Aweber you get an email newsletter and an article sequence.
Stats: If you are a stats geek who wants to see what links and keywords convert more in your emails then Aweber is the choice for you. Aweber email delivery service is proven to improve conversion rates for webmasters.
Scheduling: This is something that is very important for a blogger. If you are someone who wants to have a pin-point delivery schedule then Aweber is a great choice over Feedburner. Also, the scheduling which Feedburner allows is with very limited options.
Bugs: The quality of Aweber email delivery service is unparalled. Unlike, Feedburner where some email deliveries are buggy and dont deliver to your subscribers even after they have activated the subscription link.
Support: Any level of customer support you require then a service like Aweber is able to provide you with. Although Google Feedburner also gives you support but in most cases like were there is a render failure- you will have no fix available.
Although the choice is obvious as to which is better, the only thing about Aweber is that it is a paid service. But the premium features and reliability offered by Aweber is not matched by Google Feedburner. CollegeFallOut will soon be moving into letting reader subscribe its update through Aweber! So be ready for it.

Anyone who is saying Feedburner is better, please think, you are putting everything in the hands of the BIG Gorilla. Even if I have to pay, I won’t mind. I would prefer using Aweber. But hold on, no surprises if even Aweber is taken over by the Gorilla (Google).
