ARE
YOUR EMAILS GETTING THROUGH
By Charlie Cook
«¤»„«¤»§«¤»„«¤»§«¤»„«¤»§«¤»
If sending email to
a mailing list is part of your markėting
or business building strategy, you want to make sure your
messages are reaching your audience. Are your readers
getting your emails?
Due to the proliferation of sp*m, ISPs (your web access
and email provider) have added content checkers to try
to reduce the flow of unwanted mail. In principle this is
a good idea. In practice, lots of sp*m is still getting
through and many lėgitimatė emails, possibly including
yours, are being blocked.
You may assume that since your content is lėgitimatė and
because you only send messages to 0pt-in readers, your
prospects and clients are getting all of your emails. But
presently sp*m filters are blocking emails that include
words such as:
- hėre
- n0w
- lėgal
- questi0ns
- lėgitimate
- ordėr
- bu1k
- chėck
- mi11ions
- st0ck
- f0rm
- markėting s0lution
- rėmove
- opp0rtunity
- cl1ck hėre
Even to send this article to the people who've requested
it, I've had to write carefully and creatively to disguise
these words to get them through the sp@m filters.
In an effort to eliminate junk mail, most email providers
have sp@m filters in place, and, smart as these are, they
don't know you are not a sp*mmer if it includes what it
considers to be suspicious words. Some filters automatically
dump suspicious email into a bu1k mail folder, others block
them entirely.
Chances are you don't consider yourself a sp*mmer. You don't
blindly send mi11ions of emails a day to people who don't
want your information. You do respond to client inquiries
and send information to people who request it. Even if you
only send email to people who have double optėd in for your
ezine, you can have your newsletter or message labeled as
sp*m if you're not careful. 10-30% or more of your emails
may be getting filtered by overzealous ISPs.
Usually, use of just one "offensive" word won't get your
email blocked, but repeat it or use it in conjunction with
another "offensive" word and your recipients won't receive
your articles or notes.
I hate junk email as much as the next person. But if the
recipient has requested your e-zine or an email response,
they should get it. In there effort to eliminate sp*m, the
ISPs are beginning to infringe on lėgitimatė communication
and commerce.
What You Can Do
Review available lists of words that ISPs consider
"suspicioius". I've posted one list of some innocuous and
common words that if used together or frequently can get
your email blocked at:
http://www.marketingforsuccess.com/wordstoavoid.html
Use one of the online content checkers to see which
remaining words could create problems with sp*m filters such
as:
Ezine Chėck
http://ezinecheck.com/check.html
Lyris
http://www.lyris.com/contentchecker/
Where possible, replace "offensive" words. If you need to
use a word like "markėting" because it's the best word for
the job, you can get creative with, as I did above, but
some sp*m filters block emails containing odd characters.
No strategy for getting by the ISP filters is foolproof, but
every effort you make to eliminate potentially problematic
words will increase the likelihood that the people who want
to read your emails will get them. Take a minute to check
your email before you send it and you'll increase the number
of people who read it and respond to it.

BIZ*TECH SAVVY SOLUTIONS
_____________________
The Easiest and Best Way to Spy on Competitors
Wanna know the absolute best way to find out how your competitors
are doing? Brace yourself--it's about as low- tech as ideas some.
Simply buy from them. Walk into their restaurant and place an
order. Pick up the phone and ask a question. Go their website and
order an item.
Now you are seeing your competitor just as their customers do.
Think like a customer. Is buying from the competitor easy,
convenient, and logical? Is the product or service what you
expected if you only read the marketing?
Keep a sharp eye and you will quickly find things that could be
improved. Implement these improvements in your own operation.
Also set your pride aside and look for things the competitor is
doing better than you. Maybe their selling process is more
aggressive, or they provide more human interaction, or they offer
special deals at the time of purchase.
