Newsletter... 10.000 users

Newsletter... 10.000 users
Hello, thank you for reading this. I am going to ad a newsletter and I am quite sure that I am going to have about 10.000 subscribers within this year. I was thinking about using the Mailinglist which is included to Links2. What do you think? Or do you suggest another script for managing that?

By the way, even if my mailinglist will be big, I must have a free script... coz I am NOT going to sell banner ads or so.

Thank you for your help

I wouldn't use the LINKS 2.0 subscribe for that high-volume of subscribers. When I first tested LINKS 2.0, I had 1,400 subscribers and the Newsletter kept timing out (even with a low number of NEW links and sending a custom message). Now I have over 1,900 subscribers and I use the Mailing List (Subscribe Me) script from http://www.cgielite.com/, which works just fine. Check out http://www.cgi-resources.com for other scripts ideas.

Banners are only a small part of making money through your web site...not very effective since the responses to Banner Ads is negative within the Internet community...similar adversions to direct mailings via traditional mail.

Hi Eliot,

thank you for your suggestion. I am very happy coz without your comment I would have started using Links for the Mailinglist.

The URL you posted did not work, and by looking for Subscribe Me I did find thisone:

http://www.cgiscriptcenter.com

I hope that's the same one.

Thank you and Regards,
Goo
