We all have at one point sent an email that we never got a response to. This does nothing but keeps one wondering if they ever got the email; if they ever opened it or if they read the email at all. It is not a good feeling at all. I don’t know about you but I would be pleased to know that the recipient actually got my email but didn’t just reply. That way, I know it has nothing to do with something from my own end.
There is this tool that my friend used to make use of, it
is called SPYPIG. SpyPig is a simple email tracking system that sends
you a notification by email when the recipient opens your message. It
works with all major email providers like Yahoomail, Gmail, Outlook,
HotMail, AOL and more. I don’t think it is around any more. I have been
trying to use it and open their website for some months now but I have
been having difficulties doing that. Maybe the developers no longer
support the project.
Do not worry, I have gotten alternatives for you and here they are.
Tools That Let You Know When Your E-Mail is Read
These are alternatives to SpyPig. If you have used it in tha past and no
longer have access to it, why not try these two I will be sharing with
you here. If you just want to start tracking your emails to know when
they have been read, read this article to the end too.
1. GetNotify – Free Email Tracking & Marketing service
GetNotify.com is a Free Email Tracking & Email Marketing service
which tracks your sent emails and get email open and email read
confirmation. Receive email message return receipt and read receipt.
This means that you get alerted when the recipient read your email.
GetNotify is free to use but they do welcome and reward donations with
additional features. They only allow you to send 150 emails per month (5
per day) for example on a free account, for example.
Lastly, let me make it clear before you ask me, your recipient will NOT
KNOW that you have sent a tracked email. You will use your existing
email address and existing email client program/web based email service
provider to send your emails.
2. DidTheyReadIt.com – Free email tracking trial
When you use didtheyreadit service, every e-mail that you send is
invisibly tracked without alerting the recipient. Your recipent will not
know you are tracking the emails and when they read your email message,
you will immediately receive the following information:
1. When, exactly, your email was opened
2. How long your email remained opened
3. Where, geographically, your email was viewed
So, what did theyreadit does in summary is to check if, when, where and
how long your email was read. GetNotify can also tell you how long your
email was read too but it does not come with the free service.
You can click here to go to their website and read more on how it works.
There are more out there but these are the ones I have tried. They are
my choices, they have free packages and you can know when the recipient
of your email reads it without them knowing you tracked it.
