There is a known bug in the way the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin accepts OAuth requests. This is causing a conflict with the AWeber OAuth process.

A workaround is to disable the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin, do the authorization and then enable the plugin again after authorization has been completed.

AWeber needs the request to conform to a security standard, such as the timestamp of the server may not be more than 5 minutes out of sync.

When you get the blank page, enable debugging of the API by editing the oauth_application.php file in the /aweber_api directory in the Aweber extension directory. Look around line 57 for $debug = false; and change it to $debug = true. Perform the authorize request again and review the debug info to help you and WooCommerce Support resolve issues.

Some hosts have routing issues when reaching http://api.aweber.com, which is used for communicating with Aweber. You need to contact your hosting company and have them do a traceroute to api.aweber.com to establish where the routing issue lies and then fix this for you. Known hosts with this issue include Hostgator.
