AdSense TOS and email marketing?

    I'm about to send out a small number of highly targeted emails advertising my site (<100) - if I make an "AdSense free" landing page, does that make it all ok?

    Will a landing page effectively hide the traffic source (email) from Googs?

    Why do you care about the adsense TOS if you are not displaying ads on the page :confused:

    Because I'm hoping that all the traffic to the landing page will end up on my main page.
    I'm just wondering if creating a new "click here to continue" landing page (without AdSense) is enough?

    Email link > landing page with "click here to continue" link > main site with AdSense

    AdSense is only a minor part of the income for the site, so I could comfortably remove it (for the life of the email campaign) if I'd be anywhere near violating the TOS.

    Well people used to make a paid-to-click landing page, which would take you to the main page if you are interested and they didnt get banned, so i guess this would be ok.

    So it's ok just to have a big "click here to continue" button on the landing page (and no other content)?


    I've been searching the net all day for a definitive answer, and haven't found much.
