Hello Friends, Is email marketing is viral marketing if yes then why if not then why and what is the difference between also.
Viral marketing is doing something so interesting that people will want to send it to their friends and then their friends send it to more friends. Emails can be viral if they have content that do something like that. Maybe an extraordinarily good joke or something?

If you only knew the amount of money that was being made on email marketing you will have more respect for it Carole . dlm - brilliant answer, short and sweet
I do not doubt at all that it makes people a lot of money, it's just when you go about things the proper way spamming people with email to sign up for your product is in my opinion an attack on someones privacy. Believe me I get my fair share of enhance your penis/breast emails its nothing but annoying. And factchecker if you meant I fail as in the affiliatebuzz program, we do not fail. If you meant do I fail in life? I don't actually, I do pretty well for myself. No blackhat and no spamming required.
You don't seem to understand that there is a HUGE difference between legitimate email marketing and spamming.
Legitimate, legal email marketing is an extremely profitable method of promoting products/offers. What makes an email campaign legitimate? 1) The email list must be a double opt-in list. A subscriber must have the ability at any time to get off the list. 2) The emails sent out must follow the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. There are many guidelines that must be followed in running a legitimate email marketing campaign. If the above are not followed, then sure Carole, I can see where you're coming from. I'd say the majority of affiliate fraud comes through illegal emails. However, it's not wise to dismiss an entire marketing method because people often spam. Think of why email marketing can produce so much fraud. I'd say it's because every person in the world can have access to free emailing, and with no investment can pump misleading emails. However, those who know how to do it properly are making a killing.
E-mail is not the state of the art carrier when dealing with Viral Marketing but it can be included as one of the carriers YES. Viral marketing nowadays is mostly effective if executed through social media like Facebook. If you succeed in engaging the users, making them think and are able to think out a CLEVER and viral concept e-mail as a carrier should NOT be the first choice.. E-mail is not viral - but a computer virus sent through email can be ;-)
