I wonder if you could put an RSS feed option in your email signature?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention — I hadn’t thought of corporate Spam filters filtering out emails with too many links! That’s definitely a drawback, especially if you’re emailing editors, sources, experts, etc who don’t know you.

I suggest sending a “test email” to someone in a corporation who doesn’t already have your email address in his address book. Ask a friend, relative, colleague, etc for the name and addy of someone you don’t know, send him a polite little test, and see if you get a response.

I also suggest NOT using the url itself as your link. So, don’t have a “www.com” link by itself. Rather, cloak your url in your blog or book name.

And, perhaps you could keep your links to a minimum of one or two. Most of the emails I get have at least one link in the signature, which means most people do it, which means most Spam filters must accept it….I think!

Thanks again for bringing that up — I’m off to delete a few links from my email address

I don’t have any special signature tips – at least I didn’t until now! Great ideas here, I’ll have to experiment a bit.
