Domain Name Protection, Email Marketing, and IP Addressing


Steps to avoid having email domains blocked:


  1.  Consider using a service like Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com) to send out your newsletters. This will help you ensure that your emails are sent out safely and that you do not end up getting blocked.
  2.  Refrain from sending large images, attachments or creating messages that are composed solely of an image(s).
  3.  When employing tracking pixels (Web bugs or beacons), clearly state their presence in your public privacy or P3P policies.
  4.  Practice due diligence by being aware of the age of your email lists and refraining from sending to inactive accounts.
