Spam is defiantly a bigger and bigger problem nowadays. Recently Ralph Wilson,
Paul Myers, and other Net marketing gurus have written about the problems that
spam is causing honest, hard working Net marketers.

Actually, while spam is the fundamental root of our problems, the anti-spam
measures that large ISPs and important free e-mail hosts (like Hotmail and Yahoo!
Mail) undertake are what hurts legitimate Net marketers.

Much like tuna nets catch dolphins by mistake, their spam filters catch us.

If you are a Home Based Business owner who regularly sends out a newsletter or

e-zine you’ll want to keep the following tips in mind to make certain your
newsletter is getting through all the Spam Filters:

1. Familiarize yourself with as many words or keywords that trigger your email
messages as potential spams. You can get a nice list of such keywords from

How To Bypass The Newsletter Condom by Robin Good.

2. Check your e-zines and email messages for your email marketing campaigns with

a spam checker before actually sending them out.
…………
Advanced autoresponders such as Getresponse and Aweber both have a spam checker
built into their systems. I’m not sure about other autoresponders. And I’m not
trying to sell Aweber or Getresponse to you.
…………

In fact I can recommend an excellent free spam checker right here…
…just follow the following steps:

STEP 1: Copy-and-paste your subject, but start your subject

with the word “TEST” (without the quotes, in UPPER CASE) so
that we know this is a test e-mail. (If the subject does NOT
start with TEST, we’ll assume it’s REAL spam and delete it).

Here’s a sample subject…

TESTFlower-Lovers Ezine #007: Peonies for the Yukon

STEP 2: Copy-and-paste the rest of your e-zine and simply send it,
exactly the way you would send it to your recipient, to…

spamcheck-stanchee@sitesell.net

-OR-

Simply visit this URL and use the online form to spamcheck your e-mail…

http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/stanchee.html

You’ll get a report back (in seconds, perhaps a few minutes if volume is heavy)
telling you how good or bad your e-mail is, from a spam-detector’s point of view.
You will receive a full, free report of all corrections that you should make to
your zine, in order to stay out of the junk folders. It does NOT, of course,
actually comment on WHAT you write — first, it’s not that smart. And second,
the actual content is YOUR business!

This spam checker is a feature of the E-zine MailOut tool, which is one part of
the entire system of Site Build It! tools.

So the SiteSell SpamCheck Tool is a quick way for honest marketers to make sure
that their e-mails are less likely to be considered spam by ISPs, by Yahoo! Mail
and Hotmail (which tosses you into their Junk folders) and even by individual
filters set up by an ever-growing number of recipients around the world.
