So what are you doing these days? We're actually not too far from you guys--I'm taking a class at Ft. Huachuca, right on the Mexican border. It's about 3.5 hours from Phoenix. We should find a time to go tour the Boneyard sometime. I'm here until the middle of November. What's your schedule looking like? Nice… So what are you doing these days?

]]> Comment on Email Deliverability – Infusionsoft vs. AWeber Not Apples to Apples by joey http://joeynovak.com/blog/infusionsoft/email-deliverability-infusionsoft-vs-aweber-not-apples-to-apples/comment-page-1/#comment-875 joey Thu, 15 Jul 2010 23:22:26 +0000 http://joeynovak.com/blog/?p=266#comment-875 Thanks for the comment Allan, that stinks that your threads were deleted, and other important ones were locked. The real win you get from Infusionsoft is the Automation Engine. We have customers who have completly automated their business and that's where the big win comes from. One example is "All About Spelling", we did a case stufy for them where our marketing guy went to their home and fully implemented Infusionsoft, their sales were up 149% (not an increase of 49%, but an increate of 149%) in 3 months.

It is good to know that I have to take the opens with a pinch of salt as they are likely inaccurate. I would just like to say while I am here. That if you are looking for accurate information about Aweber at the Warrior forum. Forget it!! They must be in bed with Aweber somehow as the various threads about deliver-ability which I posted to (Which IMHO do believe they have deliver ability issues, especially to Gmail. and have opened tickets that have been unhelpful.) Have been deleted and the Threads about Aweber being Compromised LOCKED prematurely. I had various complaints about giving away my subscribers info to spammers which I defended Aweber, With terms like "Bullet Proof" Only to find out 5 months later they were hacked. Making me look like a dick. As an older subscriber I am sticking with them on price at the moment ( IMHO IS is off the market charging per email) and are not 100% sure they are giving the older subscribers the same service as the new high margin clients.

Do you have any detailed photo's on how you mated the frames? How did you run the radiator and fuel? Ours will be running a full roll cage, center driver position, fuel tank and radiator up front. Any thoughts, experiances or pitfalls to watch out for would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Scott Rhea www.izzyscustomcages.com 314-302-3395 Joey,

Avatar was pretty dang awesome, until you realize how much it plagarizes (I have no idea if I spelled that right). A)The roar of the giant black panther-thing is the roar of the T-Rex from Jurrasic Park, B)the big gun-suit-things are from the Matrix, C)The mind-connections are from the Matrix, D)Apparently, the helicopters are from Halo (never played it, have to take my friend's word for it >.>), and E)The plotline is from Pocahontas. Or Dances with Wolves, whichever you prefer. Haha, so very true… Avatar was pretty dang awesome, until you realize how much it plagarizes (I have no idea if I spelled that right).

Best ration of energy used to experience received is under New York Enforcer, Run Illegal Poker Game (1.94 to 1 ratio), but requires poker chips and cards.

We are moving soon and the idea of using IKEA bags to move instead of boxes floated into my head the other day. I found your blog through Google while searching for "moving with IKEA bags". In fact, I'll buy your bags if you're nearby! Otherwise, I'll head off to Woodbridge to get a few dozen of my own!! Thank you for this post.
