So each recipient could 'convert' multiple times. You could give each recipient a unique page name (having it include their email) but that might be breaking GA terms..You could also have the emails make img calls to a server you control, then have the server make the img request to GA servers. Where the img request to your server includes the email used, and the img request to the GA server does not, in which case you could ensure that each recipient only converts a single time. One problem I see here is that the ip would be your server, so the location of the visit would be the location of your server.. @Brian I haven’t given that much thought, but if you prepare the img source the use for the email before it’s sent, then each view of the email (where images are allowed) would show up as a new visit w/ one page view of a page name that you can make up.

I also wrote a bit about my plans for the future of GA.CFC here: http://erikvold.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/11/8/start-tracking-javascript-disabled-visitors-with-gacfc Which, briefly, is to port the Visitor tracking, Page tracking, Event tracking (those events capable of being recognized by the server that is), and more GA features to GA.CFC from GA.JS Hey,

E.g., 100% of GA data is Javascript enabled. This approach lets you get that 98/2 breakdown. @Derek – since GA is javascript-based, it only reports data for people with Javascript enabled.
