Using emails from old leaked databases for cold email campaigns

Are these useless? I've sent thousands of emails with gmail accounts using automated software I built. I know they should be landing in inboxes because they land in the inbox of all my personal gmail accounts I've tested with, but I haven't had a single response. I wasn't expecting much, but not even 1 seems odd. Is it because these emails have been bombarded by so many other campaigns that my emails get ignored, or maybe gmail sends them to spam for those emails from leaked databases, but not for my personal gmails?

85% useless cause they already get spam daily, and many drop their email or never check. It could be Spamstrap or auto-catcher

Good Luck

It is right . That emails are probably dropped because of the spam that they receive.

It’s just logic. If you receive thousands of spam emails lets say weekly will you maintain the same email and deal with all this forever?

Personally I will only trust in hours ago maybe days database’s or emails addresses leakeds.

Makes sense and I was thinking this too, but my own personal Gmail has been in a few leaked databases and it doesn't get any spam in inbox

Do you have any tracking?

Open rate, click rate,...if you don't have a tracking in your emails at least you need to have a basic tracking in your website.

Gmails are harder to inbox but not impossible. You need to invest heavily in warm up systems and ensure the content of your emails is targeted and bespoke.

To avoid getting leaked , do not sign up on malicious websites

Did you actually mass-mail them and got no response. Try following up upto 5 times and dump them. those are leaked for a reason, but usually they used to be good emails that I can say

What smtp are you using?

the database is legit, i have several dumps like that, and tested the same way you are doing, try to send first email without link and only response to those who revert you back with link, this is how it worked for me at certain level but honestly speaking the effort i was doing with them didnt justify the kind of time and engergy we were putting hence i stopped that project.

The other way i am now thinking to use it is to build your audience for paid traffic, you can make custom list and retarget them with paid display ads , this way we are not dependent on google to show them through inbox but if we have right approach then we can surely use them

for example i have database of women audience (specific website) so i can see what kind of products this site consumers can consume, so i can make targeted campaign for ladies products i think can be align with this database ,and do further testing and optimization later.
