I am having problems getting emails delivered to Gmail inboxes.

I have properly set IP addresses with correct rDNS, SPF and DKIM settings. But whatever I do, I am unable to send emails to Gmail inbox. If I send an email with no link/image inside (HTML or text), it ends in Gmail inbox. But if I include a link to my website, then it ends in Spam folder.

Does Gmail have a domain black list? Does anyone have any suggestions?

IP, rDNS, SPF, DKIM everything is set properly. I even purchased a brand new dedicated server from SoftLayer to test it but still same results.

Your website link must be classified as spam by Google. Or you have malware on your website you may not be aware of. – xeon May 2 '11 at 19:25
Maybe this: iwebtool.com/google_banned will help? – Vick Vega May 2 '11 at 19:30
I guess so. Our domain(s) might have been banned. But what to do? Is there any place to check for Gmail black list? – Willy May 2 '11 at 19:33
Vick, thanks for your comment but that service doesn't display any alerts. – Willy May 2 '11 at 19:34
In order to better troubleshoot, we may need more information: 1) Is this happening for specific messages or any messages you're sending to gmail? 2) Have you checked to see if you're listed on any other DNS blacklists? You can check here: mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx 3) Are you sending a lot of messages at once when this happens? For example, blasting out newsletters/notifications? 4) What format is the message that's getting quarantined (plain-text? rich-text? HTML?). 5) Are there any attachments with these messages? 6) When sending to gmail, are you getting any temporary errors? – Mike B May 3 '11 at 1:06
