How to avoid email spam filters: never use these words

Advertisment
Spam filters have become much more sophisticated than the subject line triggers listed in this post.

Writing the subject lines for your emails can be one of the hardest task of email marketing. Is it engaging? Too short? Too long? Too boring? Will people click 'delete' because of it? Or will they take the time toopen it? Will it even get to them, or will it trigger SPAM filters? It's the last of these concerns that we're here to help with today. 

SPAM filters can be triggered for a variety of reasons, causing your email to skip recipients' inboxes and land straight in their SPAM box. One of easiest ways to avoid SPAM filters is by carefully choosing the words you use in your email's subject line. Trigger words are known to cause problems and increase the chances of your email getting caught in SPAM. By avoiding these words in your email subject lines, you can dramatically increase your chances of getting beyond SPAM filters.

Next time you sit down to write an email subject line, consult this list below and make sure you aren't using any words that will get you in trouble. In fact, you might want to bookmark this list so you can refer back to it every time you craft an email subject line.
