How do you prevent your auto responders from going into spam folders?
Hey Guys,
I finally got a new landing page for my site up with a very visible opt-in, good offer and the same on my facebook fan page.
Unfortunately, even though my list is double opt-in, when being sent to a g-mail address it is going into the spam folder.
I got on the phone with AWeber and we got my mailing down to a 0 on their spam targeting software. Still goes to spam.
My main questions is: Does anyone have any specific do's or don'ts with their auto responders and e-mail blasts??
Here is the message I am using:

I went through and instead of having 5 links lowered it to 2 and instead of using the name of my site I used click here (i've seen that tactic used often on lists i'm apart of). I also removed the word coupon which was probably in the e-mail seven times and replaced it with discount.
Thanks!!
