Getting my domain greenlit for email marketing

[Martee]

Apologies if this is in the wrong section but my rudimentary understanding of this side of things is that it is domain related! One thing that I'm sure a lot of people run into when sending e-mail marketing is the email hitting peoples junk folders and so on. I've read briefly on ways to 'whitelist' your domain, or at least increase the chances of it hitting someone's inbox. Currently, we use Mailchimp to deliver it sent via our email address ([email protected] - as we're an educational business) but our junk rate is just a bit too high for my liking.

Are they are any tips/tricks that people could share from a domain/hosting side of things that we could work on to look at reducing that rate?

In my experience, you need to use TLD like dot com, dot org, dot net, dot edu so that your emails do not land on the junk folder. If you are sending emails to the people who did not actually subscribe to your email, it is also very likely that your email will be delivered into the junk folder.

Many admailer have dot com and dot net extension however their mail are placed in spam folder in gmail because gmail has an algorithm that can be used to place a mail in junk folder or inbox and even in other kind of website it is not matter of extension but due to gmail algorithm.

I do not know about any services that cna white list your domains. Perhaps you should consider using domain extension that people like to see, the king com for instance. Or perhaps dot io. I think xyz has got a bad name for itself.

If you are using education niche, why don't you get dot edu domain. Edu domains are the best for website related to educational institutes. However, registering edu domain is not easy, you need to provide documents for you institute.

My concern about most of the things being learnt here concerning domain and web hosting is how to put all of them into practice and achieve the best result.

When you send email to people that did not subscribed to your content then I believe it's a must for the mail to go to the junk folders.

If you want to avoid your email from landing in the junk folder of people's emails you need to make use of good website that ends with.com so that Google will not flag those emails as junks or spams.

Many admailer are using .com domain so it is not up to extension if Google see that frequency of email received a day or newsletter is little more than usual the email will be classed as spam not due to .com extension as you montionned in your post.
