I'm experiencing a strange issue, where my cold email campaigns in USA seems to bring no human traffic, just bots who usually spend 40-45 seconds on the page, clicking on every link there is and leave afterwards. There seems to be no human traffic at all. From 20k mails I just sent I had around 400 visitors so far, but I'm pretty sure the most of them were bots.

When I run the same campaign in EU, I have pretty good results, people email me back and ask about the service, on Hotjar I can see real human traffic, etc. it's completely different, but only thing that changed was country where I sent those emails to.

Traffic comes from custom domains, I don't send to gmail / outlook / yahoo, etc. because I only aim at business customers, so it's B2B kind of deals I'm promoting.

Quality of emails shouldn't be an issue, I only send to real business emails, bounce ratio is low 2< % and spam report rate is almost 0. (got like 4 reports from last 80k mails).

I have been having the same problem I assume its just the new apple update in 2023 that also affected facebook ads.

I track people going to my landing page from my cold b2b emails and its usually just 15 seconds recording of one spot on my page. Super annyoying.
 
I warmed up my own mail server, I am going to try Mailwhizz and 5 IPs to send 25k emails a day. I will let you guys know how it goes on a thread.
 
We also market our products in the same way, we send mass cold emails. From my experience, all .us domains and .com domains (some may be America some not), convert the worse. All other domains .fr , .pt., .es etc work much better. You have to take into consideration that some businesses are sick of the emails they get on a daily basis so they might not even bother to click on them or spend much time on your page :)
 
Amazon SES / Sendgrid
Which system do you use to actually send with those SMTPs? Also were you able to increase your SES limit? I used to be able to increase it but no luck recently. They take forever to get back to you as well.

I write my own customized python scripts for that, I use spintax for body text, a lot of subject variations and a lot of domains to send emails. Also I try to avoid any spam words like "free, discount, trial, etc..."

Currently I have 50k emails per day limit on amazon and 16 messages per seconds, I usually send in batches of 5k with 5-10 messages per second. Further I use limitations for every sending email address - 3 seconds pause between emails and 20 seconds pause every 20 emails

So far no issues or blocks with amazon
 
Im just going to use the free plan for each of my accounts, they allow 200 emails/day so no I dont think they will block me.
Do you

Very technical and epic, I love it and thank you for your responses in PM too.
 
Can i talk to you regarding cold emailing marketing, I used to send bulk emails through wix ascend but unfortunately its not working now and sending all emails on spam. From a long time i am trying to fix this issue and if you help me out then i'll be very grateful to you.
If you are down to talk then how i can contact you?
 
The popular TLDs (like .com, .us, .io) are now overwhelmed with content, pages, and also bots, as they represent the biggest and most lucrative markets. What to do? - well, I'd recommend targeting some Tier 1 countries to build up more trust (Canada is a great choice), maybe do some LinkedIn activity, and then go to U.S. market with warm emails, not cold ones
