במשך השנים "התחנכנו" על כך שככל שנבקש פחות פרטים ונקל על תהליך ההרשמה, נגדיל את רשימת התפוצה. מצד אחד, הרשמה נטולת חיכוך (friction) יכולה להגדיל את שיעורי ההמרה ואולי גם לשפר את חוויית המשתמש. בדרך כלל, זו הגישה שרוב המותגים נוקטים בה: בקשה של כתובת אימייל בלבד, או לכל היותר שם וכתובת אימייל. פעמים רבות כדי למקסם את כמות ההרשמות, אפילו נשים פופ-אפים באתר.ואמנם ככל שנבקש פחות פרטים (כלומר נקטין את החיכוך) נקבל יותר הרשמות ונגדיל את כמות הנרשמים, אבל יתכן שזה יבוא על חשבון איכות הנרשמים ורמת המעורבות שלהם עליה נשלם בעתיד באתגרים הקשורים ל-deliverability ובכל הקשור ב-"Sunset Policy". לאחרונה נשמעים קולות אחרים סביב השאלה האם כדאי במקרים מסוימים דווקא להגביר את החיכוך בתהליכי הרשמה לדיוור. כלומר להפוך את ההרשמה לרשימות דיוור למעט יותר מורכבת על ידי הוספת חיכוך בשלב ההרשמה וגם בשלבים הבאים - לאורך נקודות המגע הראשוניות במסע הלקוח. בצד האחד יש הטוענים כי הפחתת חיכוך, כלומר, צמצום שלבים או פישוט הטפסים משפרת את חוויית המשתמש ומגדילה את שיעורי ההמרה. לעומתם, יש הסבורים כי פשטות יתר עלולה לפגוע באיכות הלידים ורמת המעורבות שלהם בעתיד.בואו ונסקור את שתי האפשרויות, ומה היתרונות והחסרונות של כל אחד מהם.----CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק באימייל, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

איך לפתור בעיות עבירות אימייל באתרי וורדפרס?ניהול אתר וורדפרס, גם אם מדובר באתר הפשוט ביותר, כולל צורך בשליחת אימיילים. לדוגמא שליחת אימייל לפתיחת משתמש חדש והסיסמה שלו, הודעות שהאתר שולח אל מנהלי האתר לגבי שגיאות ואם מדובר באתר קצת יותר מורכב, שזה בדרך כלל המצב, שליחת אימיילים שונים כגון אישורי הרשמה, איפוס סיסמה, התראות למנהל האתר וללקוחות הקצה על רכישות בחנות WooCommerce, מילוי טפסי ״צור קשר״ ועוד. בעיות עבירוּת אימיילים (Email Deliverability) מתרחשות כאשר אימיילים הנשלחים מהאתר אינם מגיעים לתיבת ה-Inbox של הנמענים אלא אל הספאם, או שאינם נמסרים כלל (נדחים). בפרק זה זה אסקור מדוע בעיות כאלה קורות וכיצד לפתור אותן. ---CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק באימייל, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

פרק זה עוסק באבחנה בין שלושה סוגים של אימיילים שעסקים שולחים: שיווקיים, טרנזקציוניים ותפעוליים. אימיילים שיווקיים מיועדים לקידום מכירות ונשלחים לרשימות תפוצה גדולות, לרוב בלוח זמנים קבוע, ודורשים הסכמה ואפשרות הסרה. אימיילים טרנזקציוניים הם אישיים, נשלחים בתגובה לפעולה ספציפית של המשתמש (כגון אישור הזמנה או איפוס סיסמה), ומטרתם לספק מידע חיוני בזמן אמת. הם אינם שיווקיים במהותם וזוכים לשיעורי מעורבות גבוהים במיוחד.אימיילים תפעוליים הם קטגוריה שנמצאת בין שני הסוגים הללו. הם אינם נובעים מפעולה מיידית ואישית של המשתמש כמו טרנזקציוניים, וגם אינם נועדו למכירה כמו שיווקיים. מטרתם היא לספק מידע חשוב ושוטף על השירות או החשבון של הלקוח, כמו דוחות תקופתיים, חשבונות חודשיים, התראות על סיום תהליך במערכת, הודעות על שינויים בתנאי שירות, או עדכוני אבטחה. למרות חשיבותם לשמירה על אמון הלקוח וחווית השירות, לעיתים קרובות הם "נופלים בין הכיסאות" במערכות הדיוור, מכיוון שאינם מוגדרים בצורה מובהקת כמו השיווקיים והטרנזקציוניים.הפרדה בין סוגי האימיילים, לרוב על ידי שימוש בתתי-דומיינים נפרדים לכל סוג, חיונית לאופטימיזציה של העבירוּת (Deliverability) שלהם. אימיילים טרנזקציוניים ותפעוליים, בעלי שיעורי מעורבות גבוהים יותר, בונים מוניטין חיובי מול ספקיות האימייל, ולכן שמירתם על דומיין נפרד מהאימיילים השיווקיים (הנושאים סיכון גבוה יותר לתלונות ספאם או שיעורי פתיחה נמוכים) מבטיחה שהודעות קריטיות אלו יגיעו לתיבת הדואר הנכנס. המאמר מדגיש כי בעוד שאימיילים שיווקיים כפופים לרגולציה מחמירה (כמו דרישת הסכמה ואפשרות הסרה), אימיילים טרנזקציוניים ותפעוליים פטורים בדרך כלל מדרישות אלו, כל עוד הם נשארים אינפורמטיביים ולא מכילים תוכן שיווקי.---CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ואימייל מרקטינג, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

Email isn't dead, but it could be if we don't change how we think about it. Hosts Jonathan Torres and Eric Trinidad dive into the email underworld and come back out with a distinctive look at the way developers and marketers send email. 

יש כרטיס מועדון? על האבולוציה של מועדוני לקוחותאני בעולם הדיוור, עוד כשהיו עושים אותו בדואר.מועדוני לקוחות כבר הפכו לסוג של קלישאה. מי יכול לזכור לכמה מועדונים הוא הצטרף ומה מיוחד במועדון זה או אחר?לצד בלי סוף "כלום מאותו הדבר", יש גם דוגמאות טובות למועדוני לקוחות.ב-1993 או אולי זה היה ב-1994 הייתי בהרצאה של אייזיק ולדמן, שהיה אז מנכ"ל איי-בי דאטה, שהייתה החברה הראשונה בארץ להקמה וניהול של מועדוני לקוחות. הייתה לו הרצאה מרתקת על מועדוני לקוחות. לימים יצא לנו לעבוד יחד והפכנו להיות חברים. הוא סיפר בהרצאה: שכשהיינו ילדים, אכלנו לארוחת הבוקר ביצה. זו הייתה יכולה להיות חביתה, ביצה עין או מקושקשת, אבל זו הייתה ביצה. לא היתה בעיית נאמנות. זה מה שאכלנו. מה אוכלים היום הילדים? קורנפלקס כזה או אחר. יש בלי סוף סוגים ומותגים ומי זוכה? מי נאמן למותג כזה או אחר? כל פעם יש שגעון למותג זה או אחר ואין נאמנות למותג ספציפי.מועדוני לקוחות נולדו מתוך כוונה לשמר נאמנות למותג.אם נסתכל על הפירמידה ההפוכה של משפך שיווקי קלאסי, המשולש הקטן בתחתית המשפך הוא גרעין הלקוחות המרוצים, עד כדי כך שהם ממליצים. ----CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק באימייל, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

DMARC והטעויותעל טעויות נפוצות בהגדרות DMARC, למה זה חשוב וכיצד להימנע מהן.אחת מהדרישות המנדטוריות של ספקיות האימייל הגדולות שהוצגו ב2024 היתה להגדיר רשומת DMARC.התחלתי פרויקט מחקר עצמאי שיבדוק את רוב הדומיינים הרשומים על ידי עסקים בישראל. לפי איגוד האינטרנט בישראל ישנם כ-287 אלף אתרים בסיומת IL. בפרויקט אבחן הביטים שונים הקשורים בדיוור. בין השאר אתמקד ברשומות DMARC בדומיינים הללו. כשלב ראשון בפרויקט לקחתי את 1000 האתרים הפופולריים בישראל - לא כולם ישראלים - ובדקתי את מצב רשומת DMARC שלהם. הממצאים מפתיעים. בהמשך הפודקאסט אציג אותם...אבל קודם כל בואו נדבר על הטעויות הנפוצות הקשורות ב-DMARC ואולי עוד קודם לכן – מה זה בכלל DMARC. ---CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק באימייל, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

בחודש יולי 2025 גוגל התחילה בהשקה של פיצ'ר חדש בשם "Manage Subscriptions" בתוך Gmail, המיועד לעזור למשתמשים להשתלט על עומס הודעות הדיוור שהם מקבלים ולנהל את הניוזלטרים והדיוורים השיווקיים שהם רשומים אליהם במקום מרוכז אחד. כך Gmail כותבת: קל מאוד להרגיש מוצף מכמות עצומה של אימיילים מרשימות תפוצה שמעמיסים על תיבת האימייל שלכם: התראות על מבצעים יומיים שנראות כמו ספאם, ניוזלטרים שבועיים מבלוגים שכבר אינך קורא, ואימיילים שיווקיים מחנויות שלא קנית בהן כבר שנים. כל אלה יכולים להצטבר במהירות. עם הפיצ'ר החדש של Gmail בשם "ניהול מנויים" תוכלו לצפות ולנהל את האימיילים שהנכם מנויים עליהם במקום אחד, ולבטל הרשמה בקלות מכל מה שכבר לא רלוונטי עבורכם.עוד היא כותבת- Gmail תמיד פעלה כדי לשמור על תיבת אימייל נקייה מאימיילים לא רצויים. הדרישות שלנו מממדוורים (הוצגו ב-2024) וכלים שמערכות דיוור הוסיפו כמו "ביטול הרשמה בקליק אחד" (easy unsubscription) המעניקים שליטה גדולה עוד יותר ולבחור אילו אימיילים אתם רוצים להמשיך לקבל, ולהפסיק לקבל את האימיילים שאתם לא רוצים יותר לקבל. לצד המאמצים שלנו לשמור על תיבות אימייל בטוחות, אנו גם שמים דגש על מתן שליטה רחבה יותר למשתמשים על ההודעות שהם רוצים לקבל. כיום Gmail חוסם יותר מ-99.9% מהספאם, ניסיונות פישינג ונוזקות, ולאחרונה השקנו מנגנוני הגנה חדשים מבוססי בינה מלאכותית שהפחיתו ב-35% את כמות האימיילים שכוללים ניסיונות הונאה (פישינג).מהו מרכז המנויים החדש? האזינו לפרק.---CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק באימייל, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

נתקלתי לאחרונה באתר כלשהו שהעתיק תוכן מהבלוג שלי. זו אמנם לא העתקה מילה במילה אבל ברור לי שהמקור הוא האתר שלי. זה מרגיז אבל זה בדיוק מה שקורה כעת באינטרנט מודל 2025 ומי שמעתיק הוא לא איזה אתר קיקיוני שברוב חוצפתו לוקח תוכן שירקתי דם כדי ליצור ומפרסם אותו בניסוח שונה ללא מתן קרדיט וללא קבלת רשות וללא מתן כל תמורה. מי שעושים את זה כיום מהמקפצה אלו זחלני ה-AI של גוגל והחברות עם עוזרי ה-AI.לא מזמן כתבתי מאמר נרחב שמתאר את הדרמה הגדולה סביב ההכרזה האחרונה של גוגל (05/25) שמשמעותה היא שגוגל מחסלת את האינטרנט כפי שהכרנו אותו. שההכרזה האחרונה של גוגל מבהירה את האמת המרה: גוגל בונה חומה בֶּינה לבין אתרי קניות ואתרי תוכן והגולשים יוכלו לקבל את כל התשובות ולהשלים את כל הפעולות בלי לצאת מהגן הסגור של גוגל. בצורה דומה עוזרי AI למיניהם עושים את אותו דבר. לוקחים תוכן מאתרים, חלקו מוגן בזכויות יוצרים, מאמנים את המודלים שלהם ואח"כ נותנים תשובות על בסיסו מבלי שיוצרי התוכן המקורי נהנים מכך.התופעה הזו של "אפס הקלקות" מגוגל וממנועי AI אחרים היא בעיה גדולה. ישנם לדעתי 3 פתרונות לבעיה הזו.---CRM.BUZZ הוא בלוג ופודקאסט בעברית העוסקים באימייל מרקטינג, עבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק.יוצר הפודקאסט והבלוג הוא סלע יפה (Sella Yoffe), מומחה בינ"ל לעבירוּת אימיילים ושיווק באימייל, מסייע למדוורים גלובליים, סטרטאפים, סוכנויות אימייל ומערכות דיוור (ESPs) עם מסירות אימייל, אימות אימייל (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), ואסטרטגיית אימייל. קישור אל הבלוג

This week, Steve and Leo discuss the recent 'Salt Typhoon' hack of U.S. telecom providers by China, TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11, Microsoft's newly hacked Windows activation system, Apple patenting AI facial and body recognition, and much more. Steve also shares an intriguing conversation he had with the ChatGPT 4o AI system while working on an update to GRC's DNS Benchmark tool. All telecom providers have been hacked and may still not be safe to use. So now the government is recommending that we use our own encrypted communications. The plan to obsolete all non-TPM 2.0 PCs remains well underway. Microsoft must be feeling the heat, so they're taking time to not apologize. Whoops. Microsoft's product activation system has been fully hacked. All Windows and Office products may now be easily activated without any licensing. Here come the AI patents. Apple patents AI recognizing people by what they're wearing after earlier seeing their faces and noting what they're wearing. Zoom wasn't encrypting their early video conferencing. They're still trying to get out from under the mess their lies created for them. AWS introduces physical data terminal locations where users can go to perform massive data transfers to and from the cloud. The FTC has set its sights on data brokers. Let's hope something comes of it. GRC's email finally gets BIMI. (Can you see the Ruby-G logo?) Lot's a terrific listener feedback about authenticator policy, a new and free point-to-point link service, Tor's "Snowflake", linking PCs and Smartphones, and even recharging spent SodaStream canisters.
