		<description>Just wanted to reply to Dutch&#039;s comment about the list of spammy words from 2003.   It&#039;s hard to find an updated list because no one really publishes these any longer.  While content does play a role and it&#039;s important to avoid things like &quot;v1@gRa&quot; or FREE FREE FREE in your subject lines, content actually plays a very small role in your ability to reach the inbox.

Inbox deliverability is based on your sender reputation - how welcome your messages in the inbox (mostly based on your complaint score - clicks on the Report Spam button count as a complaint) and if your list is clean and well managed.  Infrastructure also counts.

We&#039;ve blogged about this many times - that reputation is the key to reaching the inbox.  Content does matter, and it&#039;s important to pay attention, but better, be authentic and clear in your marketing, and create great subscriber experiences.  Then you will enjoy higher inbox deliverability and response.

This remains a very solid set of advice about email marketing, and it&#039;s based on real life experience.  

Thanks!
