Hey everybody,

I've recently begun building an opt-in email list for a pretty specific purpose (sending out a sample high paying keyword daily).

Would it be considered "bad etiquette" to add an advertisement below the sample in each email, or is that an acceptable practice?

definitely acceptable, in my opinion. i see it all the time, and i receive it on lists that i've opted-in on.

So this is for AdSense? and would the ad be for adsense also?

Hi:

I run 3 autoresponder / list management systems. Right now we have one major campaign for a very tight niche market. We're generating between 10 to 15 new subs a day, which is blowing me away.

Additionally, I subscribe to over 2 dozen optin ezines or newsletters.

Here's the general rule and what, from my own experience also validates it:

Your primary goal is to bond with your subscribers. Do that first and foremost and once they "trust" you, they'll tolerate and likely welcome your ads as valuable resources, especially if you screen the ads first.

But you only have one shot at gaining that bond, or trust. So my advice would be to not advertise too soon in your sequence.

Hope that helps.
