BRAND NEW EMAIL PAGE AND LIST WENT STRAIGHT TO BEING A SPAM

Hey guys,

When i tried to test out my brand new sign up form, I entered my own email address to test out the squeeze page. The confirmation email went directly to my spam folder. How do I stop my message from going directly to the spam folder? This is a brand new squeeze page, with a new domain name. So no one has definitely flagged it.

Thanks in advance.

      I am actually using aweber. Odly thats the most recommended suggestion that I have gotten.

      This is pretty much what my confirmation email says:

      Hey!
      Please click the link below to confirm that you'd like to receive email from Theonlinedatingsystem.
      Thanks for joining my mailing list.

      If you do not want to confirm, simply ignore this message.
      Thank you!


      Maybe the reason my confirmation mail is going into spam is because it is called *Theonlinedatingsystem* I shall try to not use that term in the opt in list and in the thank you page, ask people to check their junk folder to confirm their opt in into my EMail list.

      I shall try to work with aweber on this issue.

    Please excuse my stating the glaringly obvious, but your autoresponder company apparently isn't providing the service for which you're paying.

    I think your sensible options, here, are (i) to discuss that with them, quickly, and judge whether they take you seriously and are able both to account for it and to assure you that it won't happen again (or at least that it won't happen more than very occasionally, as a rare exception), or (ii) to use another autoresponder company capable of actually providing the service it claims to provide.

    You have my sympathies, anyway: this is clearly deeply unsatisfactory.

    ("Switching to single opt-in", though in my opinion you should do it anyway, isn't the answer to this question: some autoresponder companies send "single opt-in emails" and "confirmed opt-in demails" from different servers, but however you look at it, if they can't even deliver confirmation requests to in-boxes successfully, then their customers have a big problem! In internet marketing, that's one of those res ipsa loquitur issues. )

      They're getting far more aggressive in doing this. And by "they" I mean Aweber and Getresponse as a response to a huge number of marketers who use single opt-in emails whilst racking up spam complaints in the process.

      As they state it, it's simply to protect the integrity of their servers, IP's, whatever else you want to name in technical terms. It's also understandable, but highly unfortunate for those of us not racking up those spam complaints, but merely coincidentally being on the same server/IP as those who are.

      I know this because I had precisely the same thing happen to me a while back trying to test my autoresponder sequence with my own email only to find the confirmation in my junk folder. Out of necessity i switched to singe opt-in just to prevent this from happening on a massive scale.

      Oddly enough the immediate email of my sequence did inbox properly after i switched to single opt-in, which technically shouldn't have happened, but for now i have one less thing to worry about lol
