Can we promote our website by email marketing to increase revenue

Can we promote website by email marketing

[ukweblog]

Hi,
I am using adsense from last four years and have more than 20 websites, i just want to know that; can i send emails to a number of people in my list to promote my websites containing google ads.

The contents of the email is like: first paragraph to describe a little about the website, and then a link of the website (where if they want can click to visit for more detail) and then on the landing page of website there is contents, google ads and other links.

Please advice,

thanks in advance.

If people have opted-in (and you have verified the registration with a confirmation email) on your sites to receive exactly those, sure, although I think it may be a bit dangerous to have ads on the landing pages when you have links in the newsletter (others swear they've done it for years without problems, but I've read stories).

If people haven't opted-in, it's called spam and it's ground for immediate banning, with reasons, as it is evil.

thanks koan
but how google will know that these users have opted-in and confirmed.
even if these r genuine users but still google can consider them as spam.
so how to avoid that.
thanks

IIRC you cannot send emails with adverts on.

You can NOT use gOOgle adsense ads with email newsletter, but try affiliate programs as most of them do allow to use ads in your newsletters.

IIRC you cannot send emails with adverts on.

From what I understand that is not what the OP asked:

on the landing page of website there is contents, google ads and other links.

@ ukweblog:

Ad placement in emails and email programs: This updated policy clarifies that Google ads , search boxes, and search results may not be placed in emails, as well as alongside emails.

I have sent out newsletters for years with AdSense on the various pages I LINK TO which are all my regular pages or blogs.

[ukweblog]

no no i m not sending ad code with the email. doing so for sure will block.

as HuskyPup said, the email will like a newsletter, that will contain some text (description of the referring site) and then at the end of mail body, a link to the site like for more detail visit : www.anywebsite.com

This referring website will contain some content, Google Ads and other materil.

So HuskyPup i should not be afraid, i can go on same like as u r doing.

thanks

We also send email newsletters with a link to our site, and the landing page has AdSense on it. We've been doing it for 4 years and had no problems. If anything, our epc has increased because the advertisers like our targeted, opt-in traffic.

[ukweblog]

thanks for all of ur replies

ember i will keep sending emails same like newsletters, let us see what happen ?

thanks

Your destination is what it is... adsense and all. What you can't do is put adsense in the emails.

Good luck on your campaign!

[ukweblog]

yeh tangor, in the emails i dont put any adsense but only the link of website and the landing page contains the contents and google ads.

thanks

It will be interesting to know how many extra clicks you generate purely because of the newsletter and whether your CTR actually falls.

I write that since when AdSense first started not only did those pages get a lot of the expected extra visitors my actual CTR also increased leading to a very healthy few days.

These days when I send out newsletters there is the usual increase in visitors however very few extra clicks happen and the CTR goes down dramatically.

Is that one for the ad blindness or familiarity believers?
