Using banner ads on a site OR within email

Hi guys,

I've noticed that on some affiliate sites - Awin, CJ etc - there's sometimes an option to tick if a banner will be used within an email.

Until now I've only used affiliate banner adverts on a website, but am now going to be integrating them into a weekly email - are there any restrictions in doing this? I.e., am I allowed?

I had a read of various t&c's, but couldn't see anything saying I could only use banner adverts for websites - but wanted to check before I did so in the hope someone might be able to shed some light!

Cheers in advance

IMO - If I were you I would host the banners your self or send them as part of the email as a few bits of spam blocking software out there look for links from some of the major affiliate networks and count the emails as spam. Infact I would recommend that you also dont have direct affiliate links in your mails either and have them 'bounce' through a tracking url on your own site for the same reason.

Saying that - I have never had any hastle off any network for sending out creatives in a mail so and I dont think there is any reason why you couldn't. Though if your unsure, it would be best to check with the particular merchant/network.
