can we add google code in the news letters(emails)

[gurulakshman]

Hi,
Can we add google code in the email news letters sent from my site.
I will be sending html news letters to my users once in a month.
Can i add google code in the emails so that we can get extra income.

I dont think it is possible to do so right now since the mediapartnerbot would need to be able to crawl your email messages and that might turn into a privacy issue. But there is a interesting thread here (http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/1451.htm).

In the TOS it says NO to emails with G code as far as I understand.

Correct. I also asked them once if it would come soon. They said no to that as well. But I asked about a year ago. Currently though you are not allowed to do adsense in newsletters.

[Critters]

you can ONLY put adSense on pages that google can crawl, so thats webpages only, not in emails, not in applications, not in offline webpages.

[SEbasic]

You could just stick an i-frame in the email though, with the target URL being an actual page of an actual site.

I don't see why that wouldn't be allowed.

[Critters]

I do, cos its against the TOS

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.

[SEbasic]

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.You aren't displaying the adsense in the email... Only in the frame within it.

So you set up your newsletter here...
www.yourdomain.com/newsletter.html

In the email you make an i-frame, tyhe target of it being www.yourdomain.com/newsletter.html

They can't ban you from adsense for that otherwise all I would have to do is send out a mass email with a competitors site in an i-frame.

No adsense code is kept in the email - You can't get banned for it.
If you can be banned, that's a real easy way of fu**ing up your competition.

Be aware that using iframes in e-mails might be having difficulties software-like. A lot is not accepted by the software and spyware / virus or other scanners.

[Critters]

OMFG, yes it is against the TOS.. in or out of a frame it is IN the email, you are distributing it via email..

Oh no, your right

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email unles it is in an iFrame, yer thats a loophole

!

stop trying to get the peon's in troubble

[SEbasic]

stop trying to get the peon's in troubbleWFT?!?!?!?
Maybe if you ventured out of adsense you'd see I'm not like that.

How can you get banned for it?!?!?!

If you could I could f*ck up every one of my competitors and leave them unable to generate revenue.

I have a page and I put adsense on it.
Then, someone decides to send out an email newsletter about SEO.
Let's say that they want to reference something from my site within an I-frame.

You're telling me I would get banned for that?
Get f**king real mate.

No adsense ID is in the email at all.
It's two seperate pages.

You clearly can't get your head around the idea of an i-frame so I'll leave you to it mate.

[T0PS3O]

Outlook/Thunderbird etc. is just a browser when it receives html mail.

I don't see why they wouldn't allow it.

[Arnie]

Hence the word any email!!!

[T0PS3O]

If someone were to click a link/ad in the e-mail, would the referer be the included website or something else?

I guess that's the issue with ads rendered in an e-mail client's rowser.

[Critters]

You clearly can't get your head around the idea of an i-frame so I'll leave you to it mate.

teheheh, I get the "idea of an iframe", my main site has 3 of them on one page... ooo aint I lucky... but just cos the adSense code is in a HTML file on a server and not in the body of the email makes no difference... the ad is still IN the email, it is visible in the email.

Someone using an iFrame to put your site in their email would not get you banned. but gurulakshman's question was that he wanted to include the ad in an email, not a whole site in a frame.

Lets not fight, gurulakshman, there is 2 schools of thought on this one, I recommend you email google and ask. They reply quickly and will give you a clear yes or no. Tell them about the iFrame idea as both myself and SEbasic agree that adSense code in the email HTML body is not allowed.

Google do not mind you emailing them, infact on my last email they said
"Thank you for your interest in complying with AdSense policy"

Post what they say here, as I would be interested if this is indeed allowed.

[SEbasic]

Someone using an iFrame to put your site in their email would not get you banned.That's the only point I was trying to make. :)

[Critters]

:) point made...

but I thought you were suggesting that he makes a page, with a google ad on it, and then includes it in the email as a iFrame... either way, think he should email them and ask :)

Even if they say yes tho, the success rate of an iFrame in an email is going to be low, as most email proggs / firewall apps will block it as the iFrame can be used to abuse holes in IE's security.

I would recomend good clear links back to your site, and then have ads on those pages.

[T0PS3O]

either way, think he should email them and ask :)

Maybe stick SEbasic's ad in the e-mail to Google to illustrate the point :) (Ask them to click as well to support his efforts.)

;)

[Critters]

LOL <- for real

[SEbasic]

Hahahaha!

No... Don't do that ;)

[yfs1]

THe subject is certainly worth discussion. I thought SE's idea was pretty unique and something I wouldn't have thought of.

Ease off the caffiene a bit.

The original poster can make their own analysis of the well presented facts (combined with an email to Google)

I have found this thread really useful so far.

[Critters]

imageine the chaos of it all!

[Kasparoff]

It is prohibited accorging to Google's policy.

[yfs1]

imageine the chaos of it all!

That was pretty funny Critter :D

[Arnie]

imageine the chaos of it all!

Good example, that should explain it all.

[SEbasic]

imageine the chaos of it all!Hahahahaha!!!!!!!

Oh man, you mind if I steal that idea ;)

j/k

You could place an online version of your newsletter on your website, and link to it from the email you send. Maybe even make the email version text-only, so more people will click to view the online newsletter.

Top idea... maybe only put the first few lines of the articles or whatever in the email and "click here to read the full article..." link.

[wissam]

This is an old thread wissam, but anyway not everyone is in the refferal programme

By Invitation Only. If you have not received an invitation but would like to be notified of changes to the referral program, you may complete this application.

Are you a member of it? If so, got any invites you'd share for the rest of DP ;) ?
