What will you do with 21 Views Within 1 Hour?

Hello,

A moment ago, I decided to do an outbound for one my domain name without much end user.

So this company has a product whose name is EMD of my domain name but their company name isn't

In the last 1 hour, there has been 21 views on my email at an interval of 1-2 minutes per view as reported by Streak. Initially, I dismissed it as not being important but on second thought, I wonder what could be triggering those views or could it be a glitch?

beware with trademark infringement, product name usually legally registered...

Nope, no trademark on this one. Name is too generic to be trademark.

Google (gmail) caches all images you attach to your emails

..and that's what email trackers do - they attach an (1x1 pixel) image to every email you send

after first call to the image hosting server every next email (image) opening is served by google caching servers

so basically by caching those images Gmail let your email tracker to detect the image download only once.
when the email is read for the first time... no exception.
..which they gladly report as "email was read"

all subsequent downloads (email openings) are served from Google cache servers.
and under no condition will your email tracker can see/count/detect them as the requests are being served by google not tracker's servers

when they report more than 1 "email read" events they either
have a glitch in their software,
or
Google is doing some sort of re-indexing/re-caching stuff on their servers or just has its glitches too.. they always have some

Thanks for the info. I some times do view my own sent email via another device such as my android phone and it instantly reports

Now they are just obliged to buy!

PS i would send them a "buy now" link to my own landing page to get the stats i can trust. Seriously, you should have your own landings and always include the link in your outbound emails - much more reliable than email trackers imho

I have analytics installed on my Undeveloped account. I am not sure what to do beyond this due to the fact that they didn't reply but constantly viewing the email. It really weird

I sold an exact match domain a couple years back and I did not want to contact the company.

What I did is....

I made an [email protected] email address and made sure it resolved so I got the email.

Then I used a generic gmail account that could not be traced to me and contacted the company (via their contact form) as a client. I said I emailed them a product question at [email protected] and have received no response. I said that is very poor customer service. The company contacted me via email and I made an excuse... got it somewhere else.

Two weeks later I was contacted by the company and I sold the domain. I never once initiated formal dialogue because I wanted to pretend I was not really interested.

When you cannot sell a domain... sell the email address

Show attachment 107322

I have had some members ask me for clarification....

1. You never want to contact the company with an exact match domain for fear of a UDRP.

2. Posing as a client of the company you contact the company through their website contact form and you say you have sent a few emails to [email protected] and have received no response.

When they contact you from the online inquiry asking if they can help you, you simply respond back, no thank you, taken care of somewhere else. Now they figure they lost a sale and they try and get Exact Match Domain. It can even be a fairly close match domain.

Remember to use a generic email address when contacting the company via their online form because you do not want them putting it together.

This means that your message was sent to the group email-address... so it was received by all members of this group.
I had such case in the past... Was also reported a spam complaint and my previous SMTP provider banned my account.
