Termites in wall

My buddy peeled back wallpaper and found THIS

October 14, 20251 min read

My buddy thought he was just peeling off some ugly wallpaper two years ago.

Instead, he found termite galleries carved straight through the wood. Mud-filled tunnels everywhere. Years of silent destruction happening right behind what looked like a perfectly normal wall.

Last week, I showed three business owners a screenshot just like the one below about their emails.

They were SHOCKED.

Google rejecting your emails

Inside their email software, everything looked fine. Their open and click rates appeared "normal."

But Google was quietly trashing their emails.

A 20% rejection rate one day. 36.84% refused another. One day it hit 100% - not a single email got delivered!

These business owners had NO CLUE they were losing sales every single day. Just like my buddy had no idea termites were eating his house from the inside out.

Google's done playing games with senders who have:

  • Dirty lists packed with dead emails

  • Subscribers who haven't opened anything in months (or years)

  • Spam complaints through the roof

And just like those termites, this damage is happening RIGHT NOW behind the scenes while your email software shows everything's "fine."

If you're planning holiday promotions later this year, every email that doesn't get delivered is money straight out of your pocket. And if Google's already flagging you as a problem sender, the holiday rush is going to be a bloodbath.

The clock's ticking. The longer you wait, the worse this gets.

Don't let Google keep stealing your sales.
