Feedburner sends Google Ads along with my post to email subscribers

    Hi all Webmasters,

    I have a wordpress blog on site http://www.architecture-student.com/

    Now, I use Feedburner account to manage my RSS feeds, and also use Adsense for Feeds.

    But I noticed that whenever I update a new post, my email subscribers get Google ads in their mail along with the post.

    Is this Okay? I have read that it is against Google TOS to send ads via email. But I am not doing it. The ads are hardcoded into the articles.

    Feedburner is the one sending adsense ads along with the posts. If this could be a problem, how can I solve it?

    Appreciate all the help..

    Cheers!

    I guess its ok .adsense itself provides that option ,so there isn't anything wrong with using it .You just can't go e-mailing the ads to everyone but you can to your subscribers that requested the e-mails, I guess.

    You can check any of the posts on my blog. The Ads have been coded in the body. So technically, the ads are a part of the post. That is why I am confused about its legality.

    The ad is inside the body of email. When I move my mouse over the ad, the status bar shows the url http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net

    The ad appears below the title of the post.

    You might want to check out the screen that I see...

    I think you are not doing anything against the TOS.it is perfectly fine.
