#2Isn't it somewhat problematic (with regards to privacy) to just send over users' email addresses this way?
Other than that, I like the idea. Good for site owners who can't code something like this themselves.

Yes, anything that sends information in the URL is obviously visible to anyone who cares to look at it, and would breach most privacy legislation.
This is a good idea in principle but the execution isn't really viable in its current form. They need to re-think how they get the e-mail addresses and how they keep track of users.

#4I dont understand what you are offering, it seems like a more limited version of Google Analytics! Also theres mixpanel and tons of other analytics services. You need to explain your product a lot better and explain how you are different than all the other analytics platforms.
Perhaps consider working with a marketer?

#5Great job. You need to fix a couple of things
- https
- http://retentionbooster.com/site/api_addaction?action_name=l... should return a pixel not a text/html 1
- the response when a returning user logs in is currently a 500 error (insert into rb_retentions fails because of duplicate email)
- anyone can login to dashboard with a non registered email or non-email http://retentionbooster.com/site/adduser?email={random}&pass...
- make sure the retention email doesn't end up in spam folder

They are focusing on tracking and taking action for a special type of event (login). A retention email ("Hey, we haven't seen you for a while") is a great strategy to convert idle users into active customers.

The presentation is not the best, I agree.
This service allows you to auto-send emails based on tracking pixel hits (which is something GA can't do).

Does not seem to happen, here (shows the home page). Maybe you're cookied/logged in?

That's not really up to him (except, of course, for basic sender stuff like SPF and DKIM).

- login (use something like http://retentionbooster.com/site/adduser?email=a43abe&passwo...)
- choosing a good transactional email service might be helpful.
