How do you test with and without tracking pixels?

Tracking pixel impact testing:

• Create two versions: Identical content, one with tracking pixel, one without.
• Send to seeds: Test both versions to the same seed network.
• Compare placement: Note any differences in inbox versus spam rates.

Most reputable tracking domains do not significantly impact placement. Problems occur when tracking domains are blocklisted or have poor reputation.

If tracking pixels hurt placement, investigate your tracking domain's reputation rather than removing tracking entirely.

Test whether your beacon affects how ports receive your ships.
