Working with a Provider:Avoiding the Spam folder
“spam index” for your emails The index will help you with words to avoid--
beyond “pharmacy” or “viagra”* Indexing will also help limit the number of
links in your email; and suggest that you only link to websites that have an anti-spam policy
*Money-back, extra income, cards accepted, guarantee, special promotion, $$,100%, check or money order--and others!
