Email Deliverability Tips
Posted by Tom Kulzer (AWeber CEO)
Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification.
Words/phrases:
Choose your language carefully when crafting messages. Avoid hot button topics often found in spam such as medication, mortgages, making money, and pornography. If you do need to use words that might be filtered, don’t attempt to obfuscate words with extra characters or odd spelling, you’ll just make your messages appear more spam like.
Images:
Avoid creating messages that are entirely images. Use images sparingly, if at all. Commonly used open rate tracking technology uses images to calculate opens. You may choose to disable open rate tracking to avoid being filtered based on image content.
Attachments:
With viruses running rampant and spreading thru the usage of malicious email attachments many users are wary of attached documents. It’s often better to link to files via a website URL to reduce recipient fear of attachments and reduce the overall message size.
Email deliverability is about ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to the intended recipient. While no single tip will enable you to get 100% of your email delivered each one utilized as a group can go a long way to reaching that goal.
Notices!
As far as I am concerned, the one marketing tool which has made me the most money is the follow up autoresponder system. If you are not collecting the email addresses of those who visit your site and following up with them regularly you are losing money big time. It amazes me that anyone would even put up a site without one.
Their system is extremely efficient and easy to use. Even though I have my own autoresponder service I put my important newsletters with http://www.aweber.com/order.htm?289727
If you do not have an autoresponder system get one. If you are serious about getting the best get one at Aweber http://www.aweber.com/order.htm?289727
Keep in mind that I am a former competitor recommending them. Keep following up!
Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification.
Permission
Confirming that the people who ask for your information have actually requested to be on your list is the number one step in the battle for deliverability. You should be using a process called confirmed opt-in or verified opt-in to send a unique link to the attempted subscriber when they request information. Before adding the person to your list they must click that unique link verifying that they are indeed the same person that owns the email address and requested to subscribe.
Subscriber Addresses
When requesting website visitors to opt-in ask for their “real” or “primary” email address instead of a free email address like Yahoo or Hotmail. Free emails tend to be throw away accounts and typically have a shorter lifetime than a primary ISP address.
List Maintenance
Always promptly remove undeliverable addresses that bounce when sending email to them. An address that bounces with a permanent error 2-3 times in a 30 day period should be removed from the list. ISP’s track what percentage of your newsletters bounce and will block them if you attempt to continually deliver messages to closed subscriber mailboxes.
Message Format
Usage of HTML messages to allow for text formatting, multiple columns, images, and brand recognition is growing in popularity and is widely supported by most email client software. Most spam is also HTML formatted and thus differentiating between requested email and spam HTML messages can be difficult. A 2004 study by AWeber .com shows that plain text messages are undeliverable 1.15% of the time and HTML only messages were undeliverable 2.3%. If sending HTML it is important to always send a plain text alternative message, also called text/HTML multi-part mime format.
Content
Many ISP’s filter based on the content that appears within the message text.
Website URL:
Research potential newsletter advertisers before allowing them to place ads in your newsletter issues. If they have used their website URL to send spam, just having their URL appear in your newsletter could cause the entire message to be filtered.
Words/phrases:
Choose your language carefully when crafting messages. Avoid hot button topics often found in spam such as medication, mortgages, making money, and pornography. If you do need to use words that might be filtered, don’t attempt to obfuscate words with extra characters or odd spelling, you’ll just make your messages appear more spam like.
Images:
Avoid creating messages that are entirely images. Use images sparingly, if at all. Commonly used open rate tracking technology uses images to calculate opens. You may choose to disable open rate tracking to avoid being filtered based on image content.
Attachments:
With viruses running rampant and spreading thru the usage of malicious email attachments many users are wary of attached documents. It’s often better to link to files via a website URL to reduce recipient fear of attachments and reduce the overall message size.
CAN-SPAM Compliance
The January 2004 Federal CAN-SPAM law introduced a number of rules regarding the delivery of email. It’s important you have your legal counsel review your practices and ensure you are in compliance. The two most important rules include having a valid postal mail address listed in all commercial messages and a working unsubscribe link that is promptly honored to remove the subscriber from future messages.Reputation
Reputation services are often used by large ISP’s as a way to vet email senders regarding their email practices and policies. Businesses listed with these services are then given less stringent filtering or no filtering at all. Several reputation services are:- http://www.isipp.com/iadb.php
- http://www.bondedsender.com
- http://www.habeas.com
Relationships & Whitelisting
Contact with major ISP’s and email providers is essential in letting them know about your requested subscriber email. Many large providers such as AOL and Yahoo have specific whitelisting programs and postmaster website areas to ensure your email is delivered as long as you meet their policies and procedures in handling your opt-in list.Email deliverability is about ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to the intended recipient.

Can You Succeed With Google Adwords By Playing By The Rules?
Lately I have been scouring the webmaster and internet marketing forums and blogs getting information on Google Adwords. I have spent thousands of dollars on Adwords campaigns and I have been doing so for years. Over the last few months many (not all) of my campaigns have been getting “slapped.” The Google slap is when your campaigns stop running all of a sudden and you have no idea why. You invariably get a notice that your keywords have a quality score of 1 (the worst) no matter how relevant your keywords really are.
There are scores of posts on different forums and blogs everyone with their own theory as to why this happens. Seemingly well meaning advertisers suddenly find their ads are no longer running or even that their domain has been banned from Adwords. The natural instinct is to wonder “what did they do wrong? They must have tried to cheat the system somehow. I will play by the rules so I will be ok.”
However, the facts do not bear this out. The webmasters come from too many different fields, too many different variables in their campaigns. Some have high clickthrough rates, some have low clickthrough rates, some have many keywords others have a few targeted keywords. Old established sites or new sites. All are having problems. I believe most webmasters are really trying to play by the rules but many are still getting slapped.
The real problem is that Google Adwords refuses to communicate with it’s advertisers. If you ask why your campaign is banned you just get canned responses. They will never simply tell you what the problem is so that you can correct it. Their reason for being so cryptic is that they say they are protecting their system so that it cannot be cheated. Google is so powerful now that they can get away with treating even high paying advertisers poorly.
However, I would not bet on a company long term which treats it’s paying customers contemptuously. Google makes money one way, by Google Adwords and Adsense. People who are spending money on advertising will simply start looking for alternatives if they cannot get results consistently with Google.
And when webmasters finally come to the conclusion that even if they rack their brains and budgets trying to play by the rules that they still will be potentially banned they might start actually looking for ways to “beat” the system or completely give up using Adwords. It is really a shame because obviously Google Adwords is an incredibly powerful advertising system. Probably the best internet advertising system every invented. As usual your thoughts and comments are always appreciated. ~ Matthew Meyer.

New free url shortening service kiwiurl.com
I just set up a new url shortening service called Kiwiurl.com.
This service will take long urls such as:
http://www.topsafesend.com/safelistpro/members/splash?memberid=yourid
And transform them to:
http://www.kiwiurl.com/1
If you register, which is free, you also get stats on your new shortened url. You can see how many people clicked on your link and where they clicked from. All this is free. Many times if your url is too long it gets broken in links and your potential readers will never get to your website. Shorter and simpler is always better.
This service is free and the urls do not have any ads on them so you are not sending your visitors somewhere else.
Please give this new free service a try here and let me know what you think in the comments area of the blog.
Thank you!

Does Google PageRank Count Anymore?
Being a full-time SEM (Search Engine Marketer) I have been conditioned like Pavlov's dog (not a pretty picture) to jump every time Google twitches.
Lately Google has been doing a lot of twitching. Specifically, the rather startling news from Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Susan Moskwa that Google has ditched PageRank from Webmaster Tools.
"We've been telling people for a long time that they shouldn't focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it's the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true," states Moskwa. "We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it." (Source: WebProNews)
Now, for SEO reasons or for ranking in Google's index, PageRank has long been eunuchified by Google. However, even missing a few dangling bits, history has shown us, eunuchs still wheel tremendous power. PageRank is no different.
Regardless of what Google wants to happen, PageRank is still extremely important to anyone marketing on the web, especially if you're selling SEO services or operating a web business. Try selling SEO services when that little green bar on your site is pointing to PR0 or worst yet, pointing to a solid gray bar.
Obtaining a high PR7 or PR8 simply means more business and revenues... regardless of how Google is or is not using PageRank. People know how to count and they learned long ago, a ten is a lot more than a big fat zero.
Placed against a PR1 site, a PR8 will win more respect in the eyes of potential clients and can produce enormous profits for the site owner and we won't even mention the still widely practiced habit of selling links, which Google is desperately trying to stop. Total and full elimination of PageRank would be an honest start but it will still be an uphill, if not an unwinnable battle, for Google to fully eliminate link selling.
Even with my modest sites, I have turned down a small fortune by not selling text links on any of my sites. When I had a PR6 site instead of a PR4 - those link requests were nearly doubled. So one can easily understand Google's position and the need to downplay PageRank, if they want to put even a small dent in all this link selling and buying, which is still running rampant on today's web.
PageRank is Google's creation, and unless they remove it fully from their system and the Google toolbar, then PageRank still Counts. Actually, in the whole scheme of marketing your website on the net, PageRank counts big time. And in more ways than one.
There are several reasons why you shouldn't count PageRank out.

For years Google has been downplaying the importance of PageRank and states it's only one of about 200 ranking factors which determines how Google ranks its index for keywords. Obtaining top organic rankings for popular lucrative keywords in Google simply means money in the bank. Actually, even a movement of only one or two places on those first page SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) can make a major difference to any online marketer's bottom line. |
Now while you can have a lower PR number and still rank above other higher PR pages for your chosen keywords, I have even had many times when my PR drops but my actual SERPs rankings in Google goes up, mainly due to building related relevant backlinks. So PageRank counts little towards your keyword rankings but it can't be totally dismissed.
Mainly because, even if PR is just one ranking factor, in close competitive keyword battles (I am presently fighting tooth and nail for some very choice keywords) just one ranking factor such as high PR can make the difference of whether or not you get to the top spot. Big dogs are still jumping and for those of us who know how to count, getting a number one spot in Google makes all the difference in the world.
Not only because Google controls roughly 80% of all search engine traffic, but more importantly Google has established unmatched credibility and brand recognition in the eyes of potential customers visiting your site. Web users trust Google. Web users look to Google for guidance and direction. Web users believe what Google is telling them. In the online world, rightly or wrongly, perception is everything.
As an online marketer, I am completely amazed each day at the marketing power Google now commands with web surfers and with the general population. Google is king of online search and no other search engine even comes close to Google.
PageRank is Google's ranking system, and in the eyes of those who notice these things, it still wheels tremendous influence and power. By default, PageRank is Google's opinion of your site, and web users can count (at least to 10) and if Google believes people are still not counting when it comes to PageRank, then they are fully mistaken.

A Beginner's Guide To Article Marketing
Article marketing is the act of writing an article and submitting it to article directories, ezines, and other online directories and publishers.
By including links back to your own websites or blogs you can generate direct surf through traffic while also building back links to your website that will help to improve search engine rankings for your specific keywords.
Writing the most appealing articles, submitting them to search engine friendly directories, and repeating the process on a regular basis can be the recipe for search engine success.
What Is Article Marketing?
All websites have a thirst for high quality, topical content that will be relevant to their readers but not all website owners and promoters are willing or able to create this content as part of their marketing routine.
By creating content articles that others can use for their websites you are rewarded with the opportunity to include one or two links back to your own website. As well as receiving a link from the article directory itself, which are often authoritative websites crawled regularly by search engine spiders, you also gain some benefit when other websites publish your article and links on their own site.
Why Do It?
Article marketing offers an effective and inexpensive way of building quality inbound links to a website. You know that the links generated are from contextually relevant pages because you have written the content that is used.
Furthermore, by using the most beneficial and SEO friendly directories you can dictate the keywords that are used in the anchor text; a critical component of a strong SEO link.
As well as the SEO benefits, you may also find your article published in ezines and newsletters that have a strong, dedicated, and loyal following driving direct traffic to your site.
Choosing Directories
There are literally hundreds of article directories online and choosing the right ones should be considered an integral part of article marketing success.
Directories should be SEO friendly so do not use nofollow tags in links or in robot files. They should allow you to use HTML code for your links and they should keep the number of links and advertisements on a page down to a minimum. They should also be crawled by search engines and be considered a strong SEO site in order to offer any real benefit.
Alternatively, they should generate a large number of visitors directly through the links in your articles.
Including Links
Links to your site are typically added to the "Resource" or "About The Author" paragraph. Some directories will allow links in the body of the article and these too offer very good benefit especially in driving traffic directly to your pages.
Always try to use those directories that enable you to construct your own HTML link including anchor text because this will give you SEO benefit as well as potential surf through traffic. Always ensure that the link is relevant to the page you've written as well as to the page you direct readers too.
Submitting To Article Directories
Having written a useful piece on a relevant topic and having chosen SEO friendly directories you will need to submit the articles for consideration. Most directories use a number of anti-spam measures to ensure that they offer only very good quality articles to publishers. Manual submission of articles is, therefore, advised. While automated software does exist, you will still find that you need to complete a number of aspects of the submission yourself.
Using Article Submission Services
Manual article submission services do exist and can prove a beneficial method of building links and generating traffic especially if you do not have the time or resources to write and submit a large number of articles.
By including links back to your own websites or blogs you can generate direct surf through traffic while also building back links to your website that will help to improve search engine rankings for your specific keywords.

They should also be crawled by search engines and be considered a strong SEO site in order to offer any real benefit.
Alternatively, they should generate a large number of visitors directly through the links in your articles.
Writing Articles The most popular articles are well written and provide genuinely useful information. Good directories will not accept those that are little more than blatant self promotion and very few will accept articles with more than 2 or possibly 3 links to your website. Ensure that your writing is not only appealing to other website owners but also to their own readership base because this will encourage more website owners to use your articles. |

Manual article submission services do exist and can prove a beneficial method of building links and generating traffic especially if you do not have the time or resources to write and submit a large number of articles.
Try to see a good portfolio of articles that have been written by the service and always ensure they offer a manual and ethical submission service.
