You bring up something a lot of people would like to do. Monetizing your email with adsense is against Google’s Terms of Service for Adsense. Your Adsense locations must contain content and can’t be designed specifically for the purpose of getting clicks on your adsense links. What you could do as a workaround is you Google’s Referral system instead. Basically put a link to a webpage on your site that explains (sales pitch more or less) what the referral link is all about and why you recommend it. A good one to use is Firefox or Google’s Toolbar. If you are successful with this you should make no less than an average of .50 per click. If not, it may be more like .01 per click. Google has a lot of referral programs other than their own. You should check it out on your adsense account if you are not already aware. You should review a number of those referral programs and design a single page for each on your site. Don’t just plaigerize someone elses work though. That will make your Search Engine Ranking go down since it is duplicate content. If you want to further discuss this, just respond to this post and we will exchange contact info somehow. Thanks.

You’ve highlighted another way in which designing email messages is slightly different than designing web pages, much like you’ll want to make sure you’re adding your links properly.

Unfortunately, AdSense will not work in your HTML messages, since most email applications block JavaScript by default. And as of yet, the adoption of JavaScript into email is not on the horizon.

You *can*, however, use email to drive traffic to web pages that do have AdSense ads on them.

As an alternative, you may also put advertisements that *don’t* rely on JavaScript in your messages — banner ads or text ads that link to a product or service of your own or one you are marketing through a worthwhile affiliate or advertisement program.

Thanks for the added insight.

I enjoy and look forward to your weekly HTML emails, and would very much like them to continue.

Thanks again for such educational and interesting reads!

Is it posible to place adsense in the broadcast/follow-up messages?

Is there any other alternatve for monetizing the messages?

Thank you,
