Email permutator
You know who wrote the post, but not their email. Enter their name and the site's domain to get the address formats they most likely use, most common first. Verify the list before you send anything.
Paste a URL or a domain. We strip https:// and www.
Likely addresses
How to use the list without hurting your sender reputation
- Look for a published address first. The author box, the contact page and the write-for-us page beat any guess.
- Verify, don't spray. Paste the top five or six guesses into an email verifier. Send to the one that verifies as valid.
- Watch for catch-all domains. Some servers accept every address, so "valid" means nothing. If the domain is catch-all, prefer a published address or a shared inbox like editor@.
- Stop at one. If no guess verifies, move on. One bounced pitch costs you more than one skipped prospect.
Why the order looks like this
Small blogs are often run by one person who uses their first name at their own domain. Companies with an email admin
usually pick one scheme, most often first.last or firstlast, and apply it to everyone. The list
starts with those patterns and gets less likely as it goes down.
Guessing is the last step, not the first. Our guide to finding an editor's email address covers bylines, contact pages and when a generic inbox is the better bet. Once you have a verified address, start from a proven outreach template.
Questions people ask
What is an email permutator?
It takes a person's name and their company or site domain and lists the addresses they probably use, like jane@, jane.doe@ or jdoe@. You then check those guesses with an email verifier and only send to the one that comes back valid. It saves you guessing by hand.
Which email format is most common?
On small sites and blogs, first name only (jane@) and first.last (jane.doe@) cover most addresses. Larger companies lean on first.last, firstlast and first initial plus last name. That's why the list puts those first. Treat the order as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Should I email every address the tool generates?
No. Sending to a list of guesses means bounces, and bounces hurt your sender reputation fast. Run the list through a verifier, send to the single address that verifies, and skip the contact if nothing does. Catch-all domains accept everything, so treat those results as unconfirmed.
Where else can I find a blogger's email?
Check the post itself for an author bio, then the site's contact, about and write-for-us pages. Many bloggers list an address on their personal site or social profile. A generic inbox like hello@ or editor@ on a small blog usually reaches the owner anyway.
Is anything I type sent to a server?
No. The list is built in your browser with JavaScript. Names and domains you enter never leave the page.
