Interpreting Your Results: The Significance of the Numbers 📊
Repetition Vs. Uniqueness
Every single term appears only once in the list, but they may be used more than once in your text.
Strategize towards modifying these flagged terms and not on the overload of count.
Prioritizing Revisions
These terms should be the first addressed as they are most harmful in spam score (Free, Money, Urgent). Then look into terms that are mildly concerning (Deal, Offer, Bonus).
Some Words Are Safer Than Others
Certain terms are safe for use, as long as there is some context provided (saying free resources on a help page). Treat our list as a guide—if you need to move a flagged word but it is crucial to your statement, think about whether it makes sense to change them without distorting the meaning.
Best Practices To Prevent Spam Filters From Interfering 🛡️
Balance Your Word Selection
Mitigate negative impacts that some words may have by balancing them with neutral words such as ‘discover,’ ‘learn,’ or ‘join.’
✏️ For instance, rather than “Free Discount Offer”, you can say “Discover our limited-time savings.”
Make it Personal
Email subscribers with their own name or use their past behavior (example: “We noticed you loved…”). Spam filters are less likely to block personalized emails.
Forget About Subject Line Filters
While it is true that the copy in the body of the email may not contain spam words, the subject line alone has the ability to determine if your message will reach the intended inbox. Refrain from using ALL CAPS, excessive punctuation marks (exclamation marks/opening and closing parentheses), and moderation emojis.
Maintain Your HTML-to-Text Ratio
If you send your messages in the form of HTML, make sure that there is a text-only version that plain-text and contains the exact same content. Suspicious-looking overly heavy HTML could consist of images or styling without sufficient text.
Add An Unsubscribe Button
Positive spam filter alert due to honoring the preferences of users within the law. Providing an active footer link and disappearance from results may reduce complaints and retain good position.
Domain Authentication
In addition to clean written texts, authentication provided by having SPF, DKIM or DMARC records configured enhances trust from inbox providers toward the sending domain.
Adding the Spam Word Checker to Your Integration Workflow 🛠️
For Marketing Teams
Draft → Check → Revise
After concluding your draft, remember to check it using our spam word checker before sending it to QA. Add a shortcode on the internal review draft page on WordPress to automate this step.
Train New Copywriters
Part of your onboarding should include sharing the link for the tool. Encourage writers to self-review their emails before passing them on to their peers.
Maintain a White-List
Keep track of flagged exceptions in a shared document, if some flagged words are indeed important. For example, “Free Tier” in a pricing update. Our tool highlights these words so you can choose to keep or modify them.
For Agencies & Freelancers
Client Education
Show clients how to announce their own newsletters by providing them with a link and teaching them the self-check features. This fosters clients’ confidence and minimizes changes.
Performance Reporting
Track spam word scores alongside deliverability metrics such as open rates or bounce rates. Demonstrate how cleaner copy yields a better inbox placement.
