About a year ago I wrote an article titled 'Winning The stroke On
Sp^m'. Unfortunately, the fighting on sp^m is not innate won at all.
In fact, the difficulty is now hence terrible 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 being used to block them.
These filters are hitting hard at the totally core of ecommerce -
Ezine Publishing.
Anti-sp^m filters work 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 difficulty is that the filters are now hence hurting they are
blocking even the most innocent of Newsletters.
For example, if your Newsletter contains the words 'remove',
'unsubscribe' or 'click here' it will start anti-sp^m filters
in many of the programs that are now subconscious 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 accomplish virtually it?
Here are some tips to avoid sp^m filters:
(1) broadcast your Newsletter online and then email your subscribers
to say them that the latest issue is now to hand online.
(2) In your Newsletter with intent avoid (both in the subject line
and the body text) every words that are likely to trigger
anti-sp^m filters. Use the free encouragement listed at the end of
this article - it will flag any words in your Newsletter that
trigger anti-sp^m filters.
(3) otherwise of wise saying 'to unsubscribe' (which is a phrase
commonly found in sp^m), say 'If you no longer wish to
receive...' or 'If you hope to depart this mailing list...' or
'To receive yourself off this list...'
(4) If there are activate words that you simply 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) count up the word 'Newsletter' in the topic parentage of your
email - this will urge on the filters identify your email as
non-sp^m.
(6) Avoid sum up words in upper case. In many Newsletters the
headers are capitalized - this will motivate the filters.
(7) If your Newsletter contains ads, examine them purposefully -
ezine ads, by definition, contain words frequently used by
sp^mmers.
Here is a fr^e help that will put up to you avoid sp^m filters.
Before you mail out your Newsletter, just send a copy of it to
the email address under considering exam 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 bearing in mind your Resource box (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 - fittingly this is a good test of whether your Newsletter
will acquire through to your subscribers.
