When it comes to add hyperlinks on the web mail of the bulk mailing solution it becomes a bad experience for you when you have to send regular emails with links. Few bulk mailing softwares are also available but many work same as their web service, you do not have privilege to customize the content as per your need.

To beat such a situation I would recommend you should go with services which gives you an option to send mails from an email clients like MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird. By sending mails from email client you can send any kind of formatted mails to your target audience.

Which Bulk Mailing Solution should be used?

There are many factors which should be noted while going for Bulk Mailing Solution. Firstly, you should be able to know the purpose you need to serve with mass mailing. If you need to send the usual alerts and newsletter any normal service will be fine. But if you want to send mails relating to affiliate marketing, many mass mailing service won’t allow that. So you need to choose the service provider accordingly. Secondly, you need decide what kind of emails will be sent from your account. I mean will the mails contain Images, Hyperlinks, sign up forms. Do you need to go with customized mail format? Then you need to go to some special SMTP providers only.

I recommend, SMTP2Go as this service provides you an option to send mails from mail clients by providing you the SMTP IDs and port number. This makes easy to set up the emails and send mails to the huge user list. Spreading the information in the best way. You get a very good detailed report stats about the bounce back, number times the mail is opened, which all links are clicked on the mails, spam reports and know which all users from your list has unsubscribed you and invalid email IDs. If you deal with things like email marketing, running campaigns, affiliate marketing, send company newsletters and alerts then you can go with SMTP2Go mass mailing solution. This will be much cheaper for you. SendGrid works similar way, as these services are mostly used to bring heavy web traffic generation from emails. These often makes user to give only the information about your website and which makes subscribers to reach only the link you have provided on the email. SendGrid also gives you a detailed track report of the things which adds IPstats, Geo stats and that too in a very understandable graphs.

If you can go ahead with web mail services for sending campaigns you should note, you will be able to track every click and other report stats but the emails sent will be in HTML format. Aweber is used by many bloggers, marketers and for affiliate purpose. GetResponse works the same way the Aweber represents its form, the design and autoresponders which are the ways to catch your audience. Another which I prefer is MailChimp, this has a clean sort of interface and the best part of using this service is that it gives you to send free emails to up to 2000 subscribed user and a limit of 12000 emails per month. I have often heard that MailChimp do not promote affiliate links but according to them they only block blacklisted sites and IPs. The User Interface is more friendly with a good support of knowledge base. It works the same as other services mentioned above.
