What exactly are you asking? Alternative's that are less expensive but sacrifice on options? More expensive with more options? Please be specific with what you're looking for and what in adlinkr doesn't satisfy you, so that we may provide you with competent suggestions and/or advice. -X
I've used ADLINKR in the past, and it was so incredible in terms of what it offered, I'm not sure why anybody would ask for an alternative to be honest. It's definitely sophisticated, and there's a learning curve involved, but for the person who really wants to fine tune their entire operation down to the value of each email they own, it's awesome. Their pricing is reasonable too - what exactly are you looking for?
The only thing I could think of would be basically adlinkr with a powermta injector. The adlinkr team did a real good job and it's an awesome platform. Plus, the whole crew is pretty cool.
Not sure how it compares, but I personally know the guys behind Makiska and they are phenomenal. I should actually invite them to site, as Brad would add a lot of value.
Well since they won the Robomail licenes at ASW2011 it's bound to happen. Ive had conversations with Paul where I've heavily advocated they do this but as we all can imagine there are potentially some conflicts of interest. Don't get me wrong, Matt you know I love you guys over there but when a company which is able to see all my campaigns and clicker results then offers mail as well it takes only the assumption that you may be using inside client information to create the percieved conflict.
That's a valid concern, but i feel confident that i can alleviate for a couple reasons. (1) We're having a few current clients of ours beta test the PMTA side, so it's not like we're mailing on our own behalf. (2) Obviously we want our clients to do well, but certainly not at the expense of our other clients. (3) Honestly, the only time we ever access client information is when we have to fix integrations with ESPs or Affiliate networks, and its just to make sure numbers match up. I'm hoping we can start having more people check it out in Q1 of 2012, but I'll keep you guys posted if that changes. We're all really excited about how far it's come....
Adlinkr is great period. I don't endorse many things but Adlinkr is a tool I could not go without. It is mighty expensive though but it's the best way to increase delivery that isn't available anywhere else.
