Me personally if I look back at the OTO's I have seen before they dont always end up as an oto. For example I have seen them before when joining a free membership for something, then it ends up that the offer is in the members area anyway ! lol Oh well, suppose everyones marketing strategies are different... But as you say the fact is they make money and thats the bottom line really ..THEY WORK ! Matt .. I was gunna email you this but might as well ask you here. I just got done making my first ever ebook - a Blog setup guide and wanted you to know that I have linked to a video of your within the book :) Its a free product on my blog and in less than 2 days has had over 160 downloads so you got some good traffic heading your way bro ! A way of thanks for your help some weeks ago brother :) Speak soon Dean www.DeanHolland.com Hi Matt

If they are just using one single system, e.g. aweber, then they should be able to ensure duplicate emails aren't sent to the same address, although if you have signed up using different email addresses they won't be able to do anything about it. cheers, MattG Hi Jane,

As far as I'm aware the only way they can confirm the optin is by clicking on the link in the email sent from AWeber... :???: MattG Hi Anthony,

It's best to choose product(s) that are a close match to the original offer, as that will more likely be of interest to the visitor. cheers, MattG Hi Bryan,

I try to be as open and sharing as I can. A lot of marketers use AWeber simply due to their claim of 97%+ deliverability, i.e. their ability to get the emails sent actually in to the persons inbox. There will always be some people who are put off by OTO offers, the problem is that, just like junk mail (that well all hate), they work. To not use OTO's can easily lose you ~30% of your potential profits... cheers, MattG Hi Wayne,

It would be good to have a few good alternatives to look at, I think AWeber seem to be going in the wrong direction at the moment. cheers, Matt Hi June,
