9 Reasons Your Messages Might Get Blocked

It is a common factor that email marketing messages are hit back by the ISPs even when they were opted for by the clients. Here are 9 reasons why your email might not reach your prospect's inbox:

1.    If emails are regularly send out to invalid email addresses that would affect the reputation of the sender. This is one of the main reasons that ISPs block email messages.

2.    The other factor that affects the sender’s reputation adversely is the spam complaints from recipients and a high bounce rate.

3.    Bad email addresses are monitored by ISPs frequently to identify spammers and dishonest senders. Spammers usually use fake ids to send emails to people on a huge mailing list without taking care if they are valid or not.

4.    If any percentage of your messages goes to invalid email addresses, you have the chance of a temporary block with the ISP.

5.    ISPs block emails from marketers who tend to use poor email acquisition techniques to build their list while compromising on quality.

6.    Your email messages will also be blocked if you try to send to inactive lists in an attempt to re-engage old customers.

7.    ISPs also block messages from marketers who have changed their email service providers and have not paid due attention to effective list hygiene practices.

8.    Sometimes, the words in the subject line of the email can cause a filter to trigger and block your email.

9.    Sending emails too frequently from the same email address can also cause a trigger and result in blocking of your emails by the ISP.

Avoiding the above bloopers would ensure you smooth deliverability rates for your email. However, you must ensure that you are following honest email marketing practices to avoid being labeled as a ‘spammer’.

Actionable Tips to Avoid Email SPAM. Act Now!!!

This post explains how you can avoid spam filters and how simple modification can reduce accidental spam flagging by spam filters.

Avoid words that trigger spam
Do not include spam tainted words in your email "subject line" and in the “email body”. As preventive steps, run the email template through the spam checker. This will help you weed out inadvertent usage of spam words. Another way to keep you updated on new words is by tracking and avoiding words that appear in junk filter list of Microsoft Outlook’s junk filter or in the third party email clients.

Some of the common words that spam filters include are:
Free!,$$$,50% off!, click here, call now!, subscribe, earn $, discount!, online marketing, order now, please read, don't delete, etc.

Use a consistent “From” field
Use a consistent sender in all outgoing emails. Use your brand name, not an anonymous name, in the "from" field. Moreover, consistent messaging policy enables you to meet the right expectations of the recipients and help you to maintain good relations with ISPs.

Remove unsubscribes
Don’t mail to someone if they have unsubscribed. As a good practice, group the unsubscribe and remove them within 10 days of the request. Failure to remove opt-outs will result in user complaint. Too many complaints will attract the attention of ISPs and in turn their filters will stop your mail from traversing. Due to such serious retribution, most email vendors ensure that opt-outs are automatically removed from the database.

Keep HTML formats Simple
It’s important to keep your HTML formats very simple by avoiding javascript, embedded forms, and hidden text in HTML emails. If your HTML message has more than 50% HTML tags, there are more chances of getting caught in spam filters.

Here are 3 elements in HTML to avoid:
1. Avoid HTML table with a thick border
2. Avoid JavaScript contained in the HTML message
3. Avoid making HTML code harder to understand in decompiled form
