I am curious if any of you are as curious as me. Websites like retention.com and pearldriver.io offer services where they scrape a visitors email without them submitting a form.

I have read into this a lot but can hardly come up with how they are doing it. These services charge ridiculous amounts per month. It is completely compliant in the USA btw.

Anyways, if anyone knows, or offers a service like this, I am extremely interested!
For someone like me running multiple ecommerce stores, this would be huge to have!

Thanks!

Edit:
just seeing this...
on the left column it shows "black hat tools" but on the title it says "black hat SEO tools"

My bad if this is in the wrong section. Where should I go for this?

what about all of the services though?

customers.ai + the ones mentioned in main post
 
Collecting emails such way is as good as finding publicly available data and sending unsolicited emails. You can buy a lot of email leads in various niches from data aggregators but it won't be worth it if you don't know what you are doing
 
It's a method called cloaking that shows personalized ads based on users interests like google and youtube ads. It tracks browsing behavior without collecting emails or passwords if anyone mentioned capturing emails without their form submission your website will get blacklisted within no time.

such are really false statements or grey hat practices

It is totally complaint with CAN-SPAM act, I think it is done through IP gathering and using a database to link up the email to IP address
 
I also have the script used by one of these companies to gather the info, diving into that a bit. Will update.

What you said here, it's not logic at all

yes realizing this after digging into their script. Just something I read on reddit. However, after looking at the script it seems they have like a background redirect that autofills email into an internet speed website and then they are able to get the email there... maybe.. thinking out loud right now.
