SPAM
GUARD
Have
you started or are
you thinking in starting
an easy home business?
Then
be carefull because
spam guard may harm
your business!
I
bet that you know
that the bulk e-mail
marketing technique
it's widely used on
Internet, it's free,
it's easy and it's
fast...
But
on the long run it
can cost you more
than you will gain
with it!
Many
people identify bulk
e-mail with spam.
Spam used to be referred
about posting or broadcasting
ads to unrelated discussion
groups, but now this
term has grown meaning
"any unsolicited
e-mail" or "any
e-mail sent to people
that didn't ask for
it". And the
Internet Service Providers
are taking steps in
order to spam guard
themselves, that can
be very dangerous
to your business if
you decide to use
bulk e-mail as your
promotional tool.
If
the people that receive
your unsolicited e-mail,
complaint to your
ISP and or your virtual
host service, you
may end up loosing
one or both of them.
This means that your
web site will be shut
down, and you will
lose your connection
to the Internet.
Of
course that you can
get another ISP and
virtual host server,
but this will harm
you in three ways:
- It
will be a waist
of time
- It
will cost you money
- It
will damage your
reputation
So
this free medium for
online promotion,
can be the source
of too many problems,
and the best that
you can do, is to
do not get involved
with it.
But
SPAM GUARDS can give
you problems...
EVEN
WHEN YOU DON'T WANT
TO SPAM!
And
this brings us to
our next topic...
FREE
SPAM GUARD CHECKING
Let's
say that you're about
to mail out your e-zine...
You
can't have an idea
of how many will actually
REACH your subscribers
and how many will
get filtered, junked,
trashed, or stomped
by ISPs, HotMail,
Yahoo! Mail, etc.,
along the way.
Why?
Simple
answer... spam guard
software.
You
know how important
e-mail is to YOUR
business, right? What
if I told you 10%,
20%, maybe 50% or
more of it is not
getting through?
Spam
has reached epidemic
levels. So much so
that ISPs have been
forced to combat it
with filtering spam
guard software.
Alas,
many legitimate marketers
are getting caught
up and hurt, even
though they are not
the target.
Now,
instead of JUST hoping
for the best...
With
our spam guard checking
feature, you can know
exactly what to do
to reduce the "spamminess"
of your e-zines and
promotional e-mail!
As
a result, you will
know that your e-mail
and newsletters are
being delivered directly
into INBOXES of your
clients and affiliates...
....
and NOT sent by spam
guard software into
the Junk Mail Folder.
It's
no longer just enough
to send the mail...
You must be sure that
you can reach the INBOX!
What
should you do to protect
your honest business
from being recognized
as spam by spam guard
software when it is
not?
Send
your marketing letters
and e-zine issues
to my special autoresponder,
and you will get a
Spam Guard Check Report.
Even
if you don't have
an ezine or newsletter
you should check your
e-mail signature file!
Why?
Simple
answer... the average
marketing sig file
can contain enough
"spam triggers" to
throw you into Yahoo!
Mail's Junk Mail folder.
STEPS
TO SPAM CHECKING YOUR
MARKETING TOOLS
OPTION
I: USE
THE DELIVERY CHECKER
TEST
OPTION
II: USE
THE SPAMCHECK TEST
Send
an e-mail to spamcheck-RB@sitesell.net
with the word TEST
(in caps, no quotes)
preceding your subject
in the Subject line.
I repeat, because
it's important...
Start the subject
line with... TEST
.... or the spam guard
software will assume
it's spam, and follow
up with your usual
e-mail or ezine's
Subject
i.e.
if your Subject is:
"The best home
business"
you
should write:
TEST
"The best home
business"
On
the body of the e-mail
put your ezine's issue
content or your marketing
e-mail's content
Send
it to: spamcheck-RB@sitesell.net
And
that's it, that's
all there is to it!...
You
will receive an Instant
free spam guard checking,
and a free Report
telling you the results.
