Blacklisted Link Checker
Blacklist Link Recursion Checking helps to avoid having your email flagged as spam by checking if any of the links in your email have been blacklisted.
Why Do We Do Blacklist Link Recurison Testing?
Blacklist Link Recursion Checking is an important technique for improving email deliverability. When sending out email campaigns, it’s common to include links to external websites, but these links can often be a source of problems. If any of the links are blacklisted by spam filters, your email is likely to be marked as spam, which can harm your reputation and reduce the chances of future emails reaching the inbox.
One way to avoid this is to use Blacklist Link Recursion Checking. This technique checks all the 301 redirects of all the links found in your email campaign. By doing so, it can detect if any of the links lead to a blacklisted website, even if the original link itself is not blacklisted. This means you can identify potential issues before sending your emails, and make the necessary changes to ensure your emails have the best chance of reaching your subscribers’ inboxes.
Not only does Blacklist Link Recursion Checking improve deliverability, it can also help you understand which links are the most problematic. If you consistently see links that lead to blacklisted websites, it may be worth reviewing your content and considering whether it’s necessary to include those links in future campaigns.
Our process includes verifying the links within our content against domains that are flagged on blacklists. While many organizations limit their checks to RBL’s such as the one available at https://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/, we extend our scrutiny to additional platforms such as PhishTank, Google Transparency Report, and others. This extra step ensures that if a user clicks on any link, they won’t be hindered by blockades that prevent access to the linked destination.
