You just got blacklisted. Now what?
It happens to the best of companies. Even global players – Disney, Facebook, DMA, Citibank, and many others – have been sucker-punched by the blacklist, despite allocating staggering budgets to avoid such headaches.
Created to combat spammers, blacklists are notorious registries that curate ne’er-do-well email marketers who don’t follow best practices.
Why should you care?
Two reasons.
First, your domain can easily end up blacklisted if a spam trap ensnares it. And it happens to well-intentioned marketers big and small, more often than you think.
Second, spam traps and their consequence – being blacklisted – will effectively (very effectively) squash your deliverability. Which squashes your conversion. Which flattens your revenue.
Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.
What can you do about it?
A new on-demand webinar, Spam Traps: Avoid the Blacklist and Protect Your Digital Reputation, can help you sidestep these traps and keep your domain name – and brand reputation – out of harm’s way.

And chances are you will be at some point, because the hard reality is that spam traps are part-and-parcel of being an email marketer.
