Let’s Talk: Reputation

The next 3 or 4 Let’s Talk sessions are going to be all about reputation. We’ll start with a general overview of reputation and identity, then move on to specific kinds of reputation (IP, domain, URL, content), then we’ll talk about how to create, maintain and repair reputation. Still working on the outline, but I’m pretty convinced this will be at least 3 sessions.

Let’s Talk Reputation: July 15, July 29 and August 12. 4pm GMT, noon eastern, 9am pacific.

As everything is taking longer the days, the signup page still isn’t finished. We’re still doing this manually so send me an email to laura-ddiscuss at the obvious domain and I’ll get you an invite.

Invites go out the Monday before the call.

Stop obsessing about open rates

In 2020:

  • 250OK says open rates were much lower than ESPs report.
  • The Only Influencers list hosts a discussion about the value and use of open rates.
  • A potential client contacts me asking if I can get their open rates to a certain percentage.
  • A client shows me evidence of 100% inboxing but wants to improve their open rate.
  • An industry group runs sessions at multiple meetings discussing how inaccurate open rates are.

The industry needs to stop obsessing over open rates.
