Using someone else's list to direct visitors to Adsense site?

[bummed.out]

Hi all,

I've found a site which has a huge list of double-opt in confirmed subscribers. They send out regular newsletters and their target audience is in the same niche as some of my sites with Adsense on them.

Would it be safe to purchase advertising on that list to direct visitors to my site with Adsense on it?

Remember, I'm not talking about putting Adsense Ads in the email - just purchasing a spot for a short, informative description of my site and its URL. It wouldn't say anything like "Click here!" or "Check this out!", but rather along the lines of "www.mysite.com - Helping people find natural solutions to nutritional wellbeing."...or something like that - you get the idea.

Is this "safe" to do?

Cheers and thanks for your advice.

I don't see a problem.

Google/Adsense wouldn't know you bought banner space inside an email. For all they know, it's your email list.

You could always send the traffic to another none Adsense site, then redirect to your Adsense page, If your worried about it.

I havn't messed with any list + Adsense that I don't own, just saying.

Hey there,

Thanks for your input. It sounds safe to me, too.

Can anyone who has tried this give your thoughts - or anyone who's got some more ideas about this?

Cheers
