Hi Sanford - cool experiment.The URI in Marketo is: data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAMCAgICAgMCAgIDAwMDBAYEBAQEBAgGBgUGCQgKCgkICQkKDA8MCgsOCwkJDRENDg8QEBEQCgwSExIQEw8QEBD/2wBDAQMDAwQDBAgEBAgQCwkLEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBD/wAARCADBAMgDA...

Thanks for the tip - I fixed it, but still no luck .Here's the new URI:

Hold on, I'm checking to see if it might be the image size that was too big... Update: Didn't make a difference. Anyway, I'll keep noodling on it over the weekend.

Actually, I uploaded my own headshot....

Hi Sanford - thanks for the quick response. I'm trying to set up a form on a Marketo landing page where people can upload a headshot that we will place on our website. I'm just having trouble accessing the actual image after successfully uploading it using the script you provided. The field is being...

Hi Sanford Whiteman, this is really cool! Thanks for sharing. I am running into some major confusion as to how I can render the URI into an image, though.

Sanford, That's actually fantastic feedback, and it makes a lot of sense. I wonder if simply removing the "hidden" css would make it any different. I definitely hear your point about tracking web activity, and whether a desired action was taken to gauge campaign success over clicks, and I agree that...

Right, that makes sense. I've thought about it more, and I do think that setting up a dummy link in emails the way I described is helpful, but mostly in determining the variance of how many clicks could be due to bots - not necessarily in providing exact numbers. For example, we sent an email recent...

Hi Sanford, thanks for the feedback. I'm a little new to the scene with these types of things, so forgive me if that's showing through! So, it sounds like the real issue is the timing of the clicks, then? We need a better way to determine clicks that happen within the first seconds of the email bein...

Hi Michael, TLDR: Put dummy-links in your emails to capture bots .We have realized that around 90% of clicks in our emails are bots! We came to this conclusion after having the same problem you described. For a work-around, we implemented a hidden section in all of our emails that includes a transpa...
