Semalt explica cómo funcionan los filtros de spam

Artem Abgarian, el  Semalt  Senior Customer Success Manager, dice que los filtros de spam pueden frustrar a los vendedores incluso si tienen permisos y documentos notariales firmados por los usuarios finales. Practica cuando los mensajes de correo legítimos se marcan como spam se llama "falso positivo". En la mayoría de los casos, esta situación ocurre cuando los destinatarios no utilizan los principales ISP como Yahoo, Google, Hotmail y AOL.

Los principales ISP han adaptado sus filtros de correo basura a la experiencia del usuario mientras que las pequeñas empresas usan filtros comerciales de correo no deseado. Los filtros comerciales de spam funcionan en tres niveles de defensa: filtran los correos electrónicos antes de que lleguen al servidor, filtran los correos electrónicos después de que llegan al servidor y finalmente filtran los correos en el escritorio del usuario.

Estos filtros analizan el contenido del correo para detectar correo no deseado. Después de que su mensaje llega al filtro, se evalúa con respecto a estos criterios: palabras y frases, tamaño de imagen, enlaces, etc. En este sentido, es obvio que los especialistas en marketing necesitan saber palabras y frases que disparan filtros de spam y tratan de evitarlos. . La mayoría de los desarrolladores de filtros de correo electrónico no comparten esta información, y sus filtros siguen cambiando para responder a las tendencias actuales de spam. Sin embargo, proveedores como Spam Assassin revelan un poco de información útil que puede ser útil si no quieres que tus mensajes se categoricen como spam. Los filtros de correo electrónico se mejoran todo el tiempo para garantizar que el correo basura no llegue a la bandeja de entrada.

Algunas empresas usan filtros que se enfocan en los encabezados y la reputación del remitente. Estudian cuántos destinatarios marcaron su correo como correo no deseado. Otros filtros intentan averiguar si los correos electrónicos enviados a los empleados están relacionados con el trabajo o no. Un correo electrónico que no pasa la prueba se envía a la basura.

Algunos filtros dependen únicamente de los usuarios finales. Si los usuarios aceptan su correo en su bandeja de entrada, puede seguir enviándolos sin preocuparse por los filtros de spam. En tal caso, obtener el permiso de los usuarios finales evita que los filtros de correo no deseado envíen su correo a la carpeta de spam.

Consejos para evitar ser marcado como spam:

 Evitar todo correos electrónicos de imágenes 

Los correos electrónicos con imágenes se ven más atractivos, pero no a los filtros de correo no deseado. Todo lo contrario, de hecho, los filtros de spam perciben estos mensajes como sospechosos. Por lo tanto, siempre revise su relación de imágenes a texto, porque el texto incorrecto puede enviar su correo electrónico a correo no deseado.

 Mantener fuera de palabras no deseadas símbolos y signos de puntuación 

Palabras como sexo, gratis, oferta, llame ahora, Viagra y 'compre ahora' active los filtros de correo basura bastante rápido.

 Use mayúsculas con moderación 

Muchas letras mayúsculas en su línea de asunto pueden activar filtros para categorizar su correo como spam. Además, mantenga la línea de asunto conciso y sencillo.

 Evite los archivos adjuntos 

Los archivos adjuntos a menudo se utilizan con fines nefastos, por lo que un correo con archivos adjuntos tiene mayores posibilidades de marcarse como correo no deseado por filtros Esto también se debe a que algunos filtros no pueden analizar archivos adjuntos en busca de archivos maliciosos.

Por último, evite enviar enlaces que lleven a los lectores a una página que no contenga nada excepto imágenes. Deje que los enlaces conduzcan a páginas de destino legítimas con texto. Para evitar problemas, recuerde enviar correos solo a aquellos que se han suscrito a su lista.
