8 Ways To Defend Yourself From False Spam Complaints
By: John Colanzi
No matter how careful you are, you are always open to
false spam complaints.
You can get upset or you can take more proactive measures
to prepare yourself.
Don't rely on the fact that you are innocent.
Your innocence or guilt usually has no bearing on the
outcome.
It's no comfort knowing you are innocent, if your site is
shut down or you lose your mailing list.
There are some simple steps you can take to protect your
business.
1. Find out your ISP's spam policy.
Some providers will close your account on the first
complaint proven or unproven. If this is your providers
policy, look for one that will take the time to investigate.
It's too late once your account has been closed.
2. Use a marketer friendly list service to host your opt in
list.
Fellow marketers usually know how rampant false complaints
are and won't shut down your list without hearing your side
of the issue.
3. Back up your list daily.
It takes time and effort to build a solid list. Don't let
it disappear overnight.
4. Make sure your web sites are hosted by services that
will let you explain your side of the story, before they
shut you down.
Marketers have lost sites getting 1,000 or more visitors
a day, because their host reacted without warning.
5. Set up email accounts and links to be used in the
resource boxes of your articles.
Some spam software will go after every link in a
newsletter. It's better to lose a throwaway account than
have your main accounts shut down.
6. Set up email accounts and web pages to use in ezine ads.
7. Keep back up copies of your follow up auto responder
messages.
8. Never send email to someone you don't know.
Avoid those cd's offering thousands of safe addresses. They
aren't safe.
You can take these simple steps and protect you business,
or you can protest your innocence while your scrambling to
salvage your business.
Don't be a victim. Take the bull by the horns and protect
your business.
No on will do it for you.
Wishing You Success,
