Email List Cleaning Is Not So Clean After All

If, after searching Google for email list validation and you find half a dozen companies who sell "do-it-yourself" software for $100 and your response is, "This sounds too good to be true," I would definitely agree with you. Buying a piece of software off the web for under $100 that will validate your email address list from your home computer is nothing more than a pipe dream. It will never work, and you will waste a few hours of unnecessary hassle trying to make it work. You can thank me now for saving you much wasted time and energy. Rather, keep the $100 bucks and consider it a gift from me to you. A good provider of list verification services is hard to come by. So you might be asking yourself, "Who can I use and trust to provide email list cleaning and validation services for my business?" There are a few options to consider. Large corporations that are equipped with software and technological capabilities to perform legitimate email validation services do exist, but normally charge exorbitant fees. Off-shore or one-man companies who are reasonably priced, but fail to deliver as promised, is also another hurdle to overcome when looking for a reliable company. You would think that, before handing off your most prized consumer or business email database for cleaning and validation to the wrong hands, your search for the most reputable company out there would be a priority. Here's a list of the top 5 things NOT to look for in the search for an email list validation company. A company whose website is outdated, hard to navigate, and filled with irrelevant or poorly written content. This usually infers that the company is outside of the country and that you have no recourse if things go really bad. Make sure the company website is more than a 5 page site revolving around selling only email validation. If the site is sparse of information, including a blog or up-to-date information, it is probably not a real, full time business for the website owner. A company that is run by a guy in his basement or sitting in his underwear working from his kitchen table. A company with poor, little, or no reviews for their list cleaning and validation services. A company who has difficulty answering your technical questions when you call them to discuss how their services work. The most common response is, "Our techs do all of the work" or "I cannot explain our process because it's a trade secret." A company who does not address your email data security concerns in a knowledgeable and informative manner is also a bad sign. Each of the above are indicators, or "red flags," of an illegitimate company more worried about when the money will hit the bank than they are of the quality of the service they provide. Be wary of companies that claim to be experts at email verification or email validation when all they really do is remove invalid domains. List hygiene is a multi-stage process and not as simple as it might appear to the average Joe. If you are going to trust a company with your entire customer email database, you must begin by doing your homework and asking the right questions. Some of which include the following:
