About a year ago I wrote an article titled 'Winning The act On
Sp^m'. Unfortunately, the encounter on sp^m is not mammal won at all.
In fact, the misfortune is now suitably enormous that sp^am is shaping up
to be the greatest threat to online marketing.
The threat comes not from sp^mmers themselves, but from the
filters that are monster used to block them.
These filters are hitting hard at the categorically core of ecommerce -
Ezine Publishing.
Anti-sp^m filters feign at two levels: (i) client-side
programs that reside upon individual computers and (ii)
server-side programs that ISPs are using to block incoming sp^m.
The misery is that the filters are now consequently sore they are
blocking even the most beatific of Newsletters.
For example, if your Newsletter contains the words 'remove',
'unsubscribe' or 'click here' it will set in motion anti-sp^m filters
in many of the programs that are now visceral used by ISPs.
The result?
Your Ezine is zapped, deleted - and a large percentage of your
subscribers will think you have stopped publishing your
Newsletter.
What can you get more or less it?
Here are some tips to avoid sp^m filters:
(1) declare your Newsletter online and after that email your subscribers
to say them that the latest concern is now open online.
(2) In your Newsletter deliberately avoid (both in the topic line
and the body text) every words that are likely to trigger
anti-sp^m filters. Use the clear foster listed at the stop of
this article - it will flag any words in your Newsletter that
trigger anti-sp^m filters.
(3) instead of saw 'to unsubscribe' (which is a phrase
commonly found in sp^m), say 'If you no longer hope to
receive...' or 'If you wish to leave this mailing list...' or
'To assume yourself off this list...'
(4) If there are get going words that you suitably cannot avoid, you
can disguise them using carets (^) or extra symbols. The 'F'
word would become fr^e and the 'U' word would become
uns^bscribe.
(5) complement the word 'Newsletter' in the topic parentage of your
email - this will put up to the filters identify your email as
non-sp^m.
(6) Avoid cumulative words in upper case. In many Newsletters the
headers are capitalized - this will motivate the filters.
(7) If your Newsletter contains ads, probe them with intent -
ezine ads, by definition, contain words frequently used by
sp^mmers.
Here is a fr^e assistance that will urge on you avoid sp^m filters.
Before you mail out your Newsletter, just send a copy of it to
the email domicile below in imitation of test in the topic line:
mailto:spamcheck@sitesell.net
Within a few seconds you'll get a tally that analyses your
Newsletter and gives you a score (0 to 5=no problems 12-16=over
the limit for most ISPs).
If you write articles, it's worth submitting them to this test
as well, together next your Resource bin (I just sent this
article to Sp^mCheck and got a score of 4.6).
Sp^mCheck is operated by Sp^mAssassin, a filter that is widely
used by ISPs - correspondingly this is a good exam of whether your Newsletter
will acquire through to your subscribers.
