In other words, if this form told you that you'd be subscribed to our blog newsletter, then yes, it would be permissible. However, I don't think it would be the best idea since it would dissuade many from commenting on this blog and likely cause a higher rate of unsubscribers, spam complaints, and lower opens on our blog newsletter list. I would recommend putting a form on your site wherever it is relevant, but don't overdo the offer and push the boundaries of permission to capture a few more subscribers - if anything this will only harm your campaign.

But it has helped me a very lot in getting subscribers. I now have a pop up that slides in and also one when one leaves my site. If you do not have a pop up on your website best to give it a try. If it dont work good for you it can always be removed. Add just the sign up into your website also.. Just make sure to use all ways available to get your subscribers.

My experience is that ads have been disapproved by google and they cited the aweber 'pop-over' form; hence my question. I would like to hear from others who are using the aweber 'pop-over' form with a google adwords landing page. Perhaps I should try again. Thanks Marc for the reply.

I have, however, heard of temporary service interruption when using pure, pop-up type forms, where it was restored upon removing or replacing the form with another type. I can't speak for Google's policy -- you'd need to contact them directly for specifics -- but the above has been my experience. Lori,
