to have it prefaced by ads
Why "prefaced" and not "ads of associated interest "to one's niche widget newsletter?
It is going to happen, my newsletters, like many others, have been ready for ages!
I already include advertisers promos, why not Adsense promos?
i dont see it happening it personal emails (god, i hope not). ick, i can see it now -- i email Rick a friend, asking him if he can make it by 7pm to my house so we can go see that movie at 7:40, and he replies to me 'Yep' and its prefaced by google adwords on movies and real estate
yuck
Instead of send the information in the email, send user a link to the email posted in a page of your web.
I think thats ok with Google, but is better you email G if you want to try it, maybe they dont like too many email referers...
I send out 40,000 double opt in emails a week for free.
40,000 per week!
Respectfully that reads like spam to me...unless you happen to be a multi-national with an enormous database of exisiting and new customers handing over details like crazy, and I find that very hard to believe.
40,000 per week!
It's not so huge, certainly not in the "must be spam" league. I send over 12,000 to a single mailing list, all of whom have requested the "weekly newsletter" on a not amazingly huge or popular site, certainly not a major corporation. There is a tiny unsubscribe rate, many people have been getting the weekly newsletter for years.
Being able to put adsense in it would be fantastic. Just one itsy bitsy block would do :)
As it is earnings peak massively on Newsletter days anyway as so many people click through to the site.
For publisher's newsletter, maybe they can do something like what Burst does - control the subscription and the sending out of the emails. This way, Burst knows that (a) the list is indeed double opt-in and folks who signed up for the newsletter really want to receive the newsletter; and (b) they deliver it themselves to prevent abuse. I know that Burst require that the publisher turn over their list to them -- and Burst will have to confirm each and every single email on that list. Then new subscriptions go through them.
I dunno if G would want to go into this space. It will be interesting to see, though.
And you would be wrong, OptiRex.
So they're not all new e-mail addresses but exisiting ones which are continually added to?
I read the posting as if you were sending to 40,000 potential new wine subscibers per week. That would be one heck of a growth industry:-)

Yep, I have an 18,500 subscriber base which is steadily added to all the time and what always surprises me is that after a newsletter there are very rarely any unsubscribes.
