Emails Going To Spam? Third-Party Links May Be the

Emails Going To Spam? Third-Party Links May Be the Culprit.

If your business emails are repeatedly landing in spam folders or bouncing back, investigate your email signature and content, specifically for the presence of third-party links.

Some popular third-party websites, including online appointment scheduling, may be flagged by email filters. This could happen due to blacklisted domains, suspicious content, or reported high spam activity. When an email contains links to such website, it can negatively impact deliverability, leading to emails landing in spam folders, bounce backs, and damaged sender reputation over time.

To ensure your emails reach their intended recipients:
Check your signature and content for typical red flags
Identify blacklisted websites of 3rd party websites
Add commonly used links or their functionality to a page on your website and use that link in your signature instead - this can also increase traffic to your website, getting more vetted eyes on your content - and that's a WIN!

Reportedly, over five billion websites were hacked

Reportedly, over five billion websites were hacked in 2023. (Cyber attacks happen once every 39 seconds, and an estimated 30,000 websites are hacked each day.)

Recovering from a malicious website attack can be a slow and frustrating process for a business, and it can have severe impacts on your business reputation, profits, and compromised data. Furthermore, data recovery may not always be possible.

While many compromised sites were WordPress websites (43.3% market share), in most cases, the compromises had very little to do with the core application itself. Instead, they resulted from improper deployment, configuration, and poorly managed (or absent) security measures.

Designing websites is our core service, but maintaining security, and in some cases, recovering unsecured hacked websites, keep us on our toes more and more as the years go by.

When it comes to #search ranking, if you understan

When it comes to #search ranking, if you understand the approach Google takes, distracting yourself with semantics is not important… a basic, common sense approach is a much more effective and long-term strategy.

Google is a business - and wants to be of value by providing the best #searchengine results. Once you understand this, you understand the fundamental concept of #SEO.

The SEO trifecta:

1. Quality Content:
Explain your product/service thoroughly

2. Page Experience:
Fast loading, mobile responsive, core web vitals

3. Linking:
Quality (not quantity) internal & external links

There isn’t a sure fire cheat sheet to win the SEO battle, but by getting the basics right, being consistent and proactive, you’re on the right track.

Well optimized website content remains the key fac

Well optimized website content remains the key factor in search rankings, but Google and other search engines are also on high alert to identify over optimization, aka “keyword stuffing”.

If your content is too heavy with keywords, your rankings and traffic will suffer. Website (and marketing collateral) content should flow like a conversation you’d have with a prospect or customer… answering frequently asked questions, addressing needs and solving problems.

Speak your audience’s language and avoid overuse of industry jargon.

While it’s unlikely your site has pages larger than 15MB of HTML*, understanding how Google indexes pages should help businesses prioritize content.

Ensure your most relevant keywords are not only at the top of each page of your website, but also formatted correctly.

*SEO best practice is to keep HTML <100 KB per webpage.

(Note: This is not a change by Google, but a fact made public in recent documentation.)
