# Why should you avoid literal links in your newsletter?

> Prevent email clients from flagging your newsletter as phishing and place a link behind regular text.

Do not write 'visit [www.mysite.co.uk](http://www.mysite.co.uk)' or 'Register at [https://mysite.co.uk/registration.html](https://mysite.co.uk/registration.html)' in a newsletter. Writing out a full web address in your text increases the chance that your newsletter will be flagged as phishing.

When sending, Laposta replaces the underlying link with a link that first routes the visitor through Laposta's servers. This is how the click is measured. After measuring the click, Laposta immediately redirects the visitor to the original link.

As a result, the displayed link and the actual link no longer match. Security software often sees this as a phishing attempt, which means recipients of your newsletter may receive a warning in their email client.

Instead of 'visit [www.mysite.co.uk](http://www.mysite.co.uk)', use plain text such as 'visit the website'. You can then select that text and enter the URL to turn it into a clickable link.
