My estimates are around 30%-50% of email addresses entered into opt in forms are bogus. (In non iternet marketing niches this figure is much, much lower). I've had 2 very successful online marketers tell me THEY enter bogus email addresses to get past optin forms into sites. You do it so why would you expect your clients to do any different? If you assume that your prospects are going to enter bogus email addresses (unless you give them exceptional reasons not to) and you design your optin process to get around that you'll get far more legitimate email addresses.

It involves using personalization script – a fairly simple to implement and explained in details here: http://www.free-secrets.org/membersnews/december06-1.php Once this is implemented customers are redirected to custom thank you page, an example of customization can be seen here: http://www.free-secrets.org/elibrary/subscribe_oto1.php?name=Sam Note the “name=Sam”. It would be a part of CGI forward variable from aweber subscribe form, normalized (using correct case) via java script and passed onto custom thank you page that just happen to contain also a one time offer. This has proven to be very effective for my list. Alex Guys, this is a little tip I have shared with my subscribers that increased my double-opt in confirmation rate to around 80+ %.

I've never seen #2 done personally, but it makes perfect sense and is something we'll definitely be testing. Based on the data we see of between 5-15% of all initial opt-ins being invalid addresses it's a fantastic idea to give visitors another opportunity to provide a real email to subscribe. Andrew,

Here's a tip that may increase your confirmed double opt in subscribers by 25% or more... 1. On your thank you page tell your subscribers they have to confirm their email address (many smart marketers do that). 2. Offer another opt-in form on that page with a line like... "Did you enter an email address where your emails might not get delivered like a yahoo account? If you did you can enter your primary email address here..." See http://www.copywriting1.com and the thank you page... http://www.copywriting1.com/thankyou.html for an example of how this works. My early testing of this method with clients suggests that somewhere around 25% of confirmed double opt in subscribers come from these thank you pages with the added warning and opt in form.
