Instructions
- After the payment is processed, the account password is emailed to you.
- On Gammadyne Mailer's Send branch, check the "Tracking Enabled" box.
- Enter your email address in the "User:" field. This must be the same email address that was specified when the tracking credits were purchased.
- Enter the account password in the "Password:" field.
- Enter the number of emails you wish to track in the "Track Count:" field. This can be less than the size of the mailing list.
- Disable all Internet security-related programs that are running on your system. Especially CA eTrust Anti-virus and any Trend Micro products. Because these products for some reason like to repeat all HTTP requests, they will cause you to be double charged.
- You can now send the mailing as normal. Gammadyne Mailer will automatically insert the beacon into the HTML Body and modify the links so that they can be tracked.
- Wait a while.
- Click the "Generate Report" button.
- Select the campaign that you wish to generate a report for. Click the "Generate Report" button.
- The "Tracking Report" window will appear. The report is one long HTML document.
- Click the "Save Report" button to save the report to an HTML file.
- Click the "Print" button to print a hardcopy of the report.
- Click the "Export CSV Data" button to export the recipient tracking data to a CSV file.
Other Notes
- All email tracking systems use the same method. A tiny image, called a beacon, is inserted into the message's HTML body. When the recipient's email client downloads the image, the tracking system recognizes this as an opened email. Please be aware that this is an imperfect method. Most email clients do not automatically download images. An open rate of less than 25% is typical, because most of the opens go unrecognized. We have priced the system taking this weakness into account.
- The Gammadyne Email Tracking System is not a hosted solution. Email still goes through the user's mail server. Our system only intercepts the opens and clicks, and stores this information in a database waiting for the user to retrieve the data through Gammadyne Mailer's interface.
- Tracking data is stored on our server for 30 days, then deleted. 99% of email is opened within 14 days of being sent. The user is given 2 days notice before a campaign is deleted. At that time, they should generate the final report and export the tracking data to a CSV file.
- The system includes a tool to import the tracking data into a database or CSV file. The tracking report can be exported to an HTML file.
- Only emails that are successfully delivered to the SMTP server cost the user a tracking credit. However, if the SMTP server fails to relay the email, there is no way for our system to know this and refund the credit. It is always a good idea to keep your mailing list clean of bad addresses (otherwise you risk blacklisting).
- To prevent a slowdown in email delivery, Gammadyne Mailer uses a background thread to notify the tracking server of sent emails. If the user closes Gammadyne Mailer, the process "gm.exe" may continue to run in the background. If you kill this process or turn off the computer, any emails that have not yet been reported to the tracking server will go untracked. It is okay to do so if this is your intent - untracked emails do not consume credits.
- The report does not include bounce-back statistics, because bounces arrive later at your SMTP server. Gammadyne Mailer is not privy to what comes in to your SMTP server unless you set up a Bounce-Back project, but even in this case the statistics are not transferred to the tracking system. The user is strongly encouraged to keep bounces to a minimum by removing bounced email addresses from the mailing list after every campaign. Failing to do so is a common cause of blacklisting.
