    I have written a press release and want to send it to more than 100 editors. Will this be thought as spamming?

    How can I send the email and avoid it goes to spam folder?

    Thanks.

    If you never communicated with those 100 editors, you might be considered as spamming.
    But for 100 emails you can send them in the BCC field. It can get through.

    100 is a small number in my opinion and shouldn't be considered spam. I will agree with the BCC field.

    It is a common practice to send press releases to editors. There is nothing wrong with it. They receive tons of unsolicited press releases every day and are used to it.

    The bigger problem is getting their attention, because they don't give most of the press releases more than a couple of seconds of their time. An alternative is to use services that specifically cater to editors or that will publish your press release online for them to see.

    Many editors use Gmail as email box, Gmail always thinks press releases as spam...

    Press Release is meant to be announcement of new website or feature to the world. You will not be considered as spam but still it will work great if you make small changes in those releases. Small changes can help you to have higher authority and will be indexed in Google. Google won't index all of your press releases if they contain same and ditto content.

    Make sure you talk to them first before you sent out the press release. They want to know who they are dealing with first!

    It depends how the email is written/coded (if html). ALWAYS have an 'unsubscribe' or 'dont receive these promotions' links at the bottom and that will be good enough for the majority of email clients not to classify it as spam. If you exclude a link like this they assume you're practically forcing promotions on them with no opt-out.

    I don't think that it'll be considered as spam. It may depend on how it is written. Editors might check if you've followed their submission rules and guidelines.
