I keep hearing this, but our newsletter system has been using GET unsubscribe links since at least 2007 (but probably longer), and we never found a wave of Gmail users unsubscribing, we still have a lot of them. I wonder if this is simply an urban legend, if Gmail tries to recognize unsubscribe links, or if there is something else going on.
- FrenchDevRemote 4y agoyour newsletter system probably ignore bots or some IPs
- Semaphor 4y agoWe do not :) It was never an issue there. Bots get ignored for stats, Google IPs get blocked for Ads (Google seems to think every ad link has to be visited by a ton of bots, our customers actually started complaining about the traffic)
