Words and Phrases that
Can Cause Your Email To Be Blocked
While we are 100% against sending email to anyone who
hasn't requested it, the measures AOL and various ISPs
use to filter out spam are the equivalent of throwing
out the baby with the bath water. They are blocking
legitimate mail and still letting through spam.
Take a look at the following list and see if you think
these are words which should keep someone from getting
email from you they've requested.
Just using one of these words below probably won't get
your email blocked, but use it a couple of times or with
one or more of the following words and your email may be
blocked by a "spam" filter.
Common Words and Phrases
to Use with Caution
Although not all of
these words will apply to you directly, you should be
aware they are potential triggers for Spam Filters.
The words we are most affected or could be affected by
are highlighted in red and bolded.

Additional information…
Using quotation marks,
dollar signs and exclamation points in subject lines
will frequently trigger mail filters, as well as using
all capital letters (shouting). You should also never
put a toll-free number in the subject line, since that
will also cause your email to be filtered out by many
Spam filters. And never use a font size larger than 2+,
or you could trigger some Spam filters.
Please be aware that
the above lists aren't meant to be comprehensive, and
only identify some of the more common words and phrases
that trigger Spam filters. One way to check? Send an
email to yourself and some select friends (such as other
Internet-based marketing moms) with Spam filters first,
before sending it out to your customers, and see if it
makes it through. Or, go out and buy one of the better
software programs that will highlight words that could
be identified as Spam. If you depend on email marketing
to bring traffic to your web site, it is well worth the
investment.
