How to easily track email leads #1
For years i have been ticking in a serverless way to capture emails. I found that this is not possible and in any case it will require some elements to be hosted on a server. After overthinking this issue i come up with two solutions, the first don't require any hosting and the second only require a free hosting plan. So i will enter in detail next...

Solution 1:
The solution 1 is quite simple and i have used in a few projects that i have develop. The solution basically takes advantage of bitly api and a xml/ajax request to create a new bitly link that record the url formation. Adding the email as a variable following the actual url will record the user email in bitly control panel.

Solution 2:
The solution 2 requires hosting of a *.html file with the code from StatCounter. StatCounter is the leader in web statistics. In this solution we create a form where the user enters there email and hit the button that forward the form details to a hidden iframe window that calls the *.html file. The form must be GET to log the information because POST do not pass the parameters in the url.

Here it is the 2 solutions to save an email, does anyone have any aditional ideas to save emails?

With the second solution, clever using the StatCounter and the hidden IFrame.

The GET method to submit a HTTP request makes sense.
I'll look Into this In detail, thank you.

I'm using the second solution on the site in my signature and it works well. Saving not just the email but also the combo box info.
