Understanding Spam Trigger Words
Spam filters analyze email content looking for patterns commonly found in unwanted messages. While modern filters use machine learning and consider many factors beyond just words, avoiding known spam triggers is still crucial for cold email deliverability.
Categories of Spam Triggers
- Urgency words: "Act now," "limited time," "expires today" - these create false urgency that spam filters flag.
- Money-related terms: "Free," "no cost," "earn money" - commonly used in promotional spam.
- Excessive promises: "Guaranteed," "100%," "risk-free" - over-the-top claims trigger filters.
- Formatting issues: ALL CAPS, multiple exclamation marks, and excessive punctuation.
Beyond Word Filtering
Modern spam filters also consider sender reputation, authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), engagement history, and content structure. A clean spam word check is just one piece of the deliverability puzzle.
