php - Gmail doesn't accept emails that contains links

I am using PHPmailer to send emails that contain activation codes to the people who have signed up on my website. Everything worked fine with Yahoo! but not with Gmail. There is no errors in my PHP script. Everything looked okay. I tried to remove all the links from the email text and replaced it with random string like 'rrrrrrr' and it worked, I received the mail in my mailbox. This only happens with Gmail. Does anyone knows how to overcome this problem? Also, I am hosting my website on hostinger.com but i am currently testing PHPmailer on localhost using wampserver

EDIT: my website is http://www.pascal-tweaks.esy.es/ I don't think that it looks like a spam link. I found my emails in the spam folder, but I must say that two days ago it was working fine with Gmail and I was receiving them in my mailbox. I thought maybe they recently decided to not trust links like that? I still want another solution because I don't want my website's users to bother going to the spam folder :(

Here is my code, $email_sent is always true :

$toemail = $_SESSION['toemail'];
$nom = $_SESSION['name'];
$email_color = $_SESSION['email_color'];
$email_theme = $_SESSION['email_theme'];
$index = $_SESSION['index'];
$code = $_SESSION['code'];

$smtphost = 'smtp.topnet.tn';
$smtpport = 25;


$dom = 'http://www.mydomain.esy.es';

$from = '[email protected]';
$fromname = 'mywebsite';
$subj = 'signing in';
$greating = 'Thank you for registering!';
$htmlbody = 
    '<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
        <head>
            <meta charset="utf-8"/>
            <title>' . $greating . '</title>
        </head>
        <body style="margin:0;padding:10px 0;">
            <div style="width:450px;height:450px;max-height:450px;border:1px solid ' . $email_color . ';border-radius:260px;background-image:url(\'' . $dom . '/cssjs/theme' . $email_theme .

                </div>
            </div>

            'Activation code : ' . $code;

require_once ($webdir . '/PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
$activation_mail = new PHPMailer;

$activation_mail->isSMTP();
$activation_mail->Host = $smtphost;
$activation_mail->Port = $smtpport;

$activation_mail->From = $from;
$activation_mail->FromName = $fromname;
$activation_mail->SetFrom($from, $fromname);
$activation_mail->addAddress($toemail);
$activation_mail->addReplyTo($from, $fromname);
$activation_mail->isHTML(true);
$activation_mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

$activation_mail->Subject = $subj;
$activation_mail->Body = $htmlbody;
$activation_mail->AltBody = $altbody;

if($activation_mail->send()){
    $email_sent = true;
}

    $email_sent = false;
}

1.) Your website http://www.pascal-tweaks.esy.es/ is hosted on free domain provider..I think this is one of the reason for receiving mail in the spam folder.. 2.) try this when you post your site on facebook wall or you message anybody it ll ask you about the security check or captcha.. So perhaps because of that gmail does not show link .. thanks..
