I'll add this as well, several companies have built products just to allow people to do email tracking in Gmail (boomerang, signals, streak, banana tag). So yes it does work

- Navarr 12y agoI think what he meant is - does TRACKING even work since google now pre-fetches images.
- ChristianBundy 12y agoI'm not the author, but tracking doesn't work at all – this extension is 100% redundant.
- enos_feedler 12y agoAre you sure about this? There are apps that do exactly this: http://mailtrackerapp.com http://mailtrackerapp.com
- alelefant 12y agoTracking still works. Tracking multiple opens doesn't work since Gmail will cache the image, but the first load of the image can still be tracked.
- Alupis 12y agoI can definitively say, as someone who spends a lot of time doing email marketing... tracking opens and CTR's for gmail users absolutely still works.

- Alupis 12y agoWant to pose the question: Is it a bad thing to have your open and clicks "tracked" by an email marketer? Yes and No. It depends who the marketer is. If it's a spammer, then the answer is no, it's not good. However, if it's a company you signed up for their email list, then you want tracking. You want them to send you advert's that you are actually interested in. You want them to not waste you time (and inbox space) with advert's that you will never be interested in. You also want them to send you engaging, funny, provocative emails that don't annoy you. These things can only happen if the marketer knows what people are clicking on and what type of content is the most engaging.
