HTML E-mail Preventing Link Request?

[Nobody1560986989723]

Hi there,

The last couple of months we have had quite a few link request e-mails apparently not being received.

Our e-mails are sent out through Mozilla Thunderbird, so not an e-mail platform. However we use a HTML template to ensure our business logo and footers are consistent and to help raise awareness of the brand.

Is there any chance that some e-mails may well be blocked (e.g. by filters) because we're using HTML e-mails rather than a standard e-mail format and does anyone have any advice for ensuring e-mails get through (other than getting the right contact name if possible).

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Thanks,  I will check it out. I only understand basic German so I will see if the site translates into English. But we need to be aware of a few options. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this, I will check it all out before our next set of e-mail link prospecting requests are sent out.

Hi Martin, yes u are right its no sew easy

Since about 6 month we are using a Link managing Tool that also provides a Mail-Ticket System inside - since that time we don't have this problem any more.

The Software is  Calley http://www.linkbird.de/  (I think its also available in english)

We are just using a .png - how do you avoid keyword blocking though? It's not like you can instantaneously avoid the word 'link' or providing a URL somewhere in the e-mail. How do you get round it?

Hi Martin,
yes i think so - sometimes we have the same problem.

It can also be a .gif image ore some words in your post causing that.
