The guys over at Mail Chimp have posted some info about how I use an Ajax mailing list sign up system on the home page of client sites to triple the number of sign ups we get. It’s been amazingly successful for my clients, so much so I wrote about how to do it at SitePoint. I recently began using the Mail Chimp API to send all sign ups directly to my managed lists on their server, which makes launching campaigns pretty simple later on.
Thanks, Mail Chimp crew, for sharing the info with all who are interested.
Great script! I am using it on a site to collect email addesses to a TXT file and it’s working very well.
What I was trying to do without sucsess is to be able to also collect other data, things like ‘name’, ‘location’ etc… I have tried various ways but it just didn’t woor.
Maybe someone out there could help me out in any way.
Thanks again.
I’ve actually already posted a bit about this topic at http://aarronwalter.com/2006/11/06/extending-the-ajax-mailing-list-sign-up-system/
Hope it helps.
