Building Your E-mail List with Mailgrab Functionality
Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.
I wrote about a company called Instant Attention last year, as I was impressed by their slick, effective technology for beating pop-up blockers.
At the time, I was touting this new breed of pop-ups that were using DHTML to get the pop-ups to pop past the blockers.
Recently, they rebranded as AdImpact, and their “floating layer technology” has a really cool, new feature: Mailgrab Functionality.
The Mailgrab Functionality enables their customers to use the popup layer to display a quick mail form, rather than directing user to a new page to opt-in to an e-mail list.
When you use this type of pop-up, the e-mail information (name, e-mail, and date) is saved directly to your AdImpact account to export to your list.
However, they also have built-in direct autoresponder integration for the following services: AutoResponsePlus, Aweber, GetResponse, IntelliContact, and ProAutoresponder.
Personally, I use AWeber, and it was very easy to set up the integration. You can see an example of the pop-up with e-mail opt-in at the Affiliate Tip blog.

Hi Shawn – FYI I couldn’t get AdImpact to work with aweber, with the popup form feature. It would redirect to the “thanks check your email” after submitting an email address and name, but aweber never acknowledged the signup. Without someone testing this they could go weeks with not knowing they are getting no subscribers.
I emailed their support 3 weeks ago and still no reply so I’m cancelling. They had great graphics, and a great concept, but the support was not to my satisfaction. The lack of tracking support tickets should have tipped me off.
reply to this commentHi Peter -
I actually stopped using them a few months ago, but until then i never had any problems with support.
