Email campaigns and miniwebsites

[econwriter5]

Does anyone run email campaigns and build miniwebsites for them to help with optimization? Another way to get good keyword-rich as well as value-added content on your website?

Do search engines pick up on email?
And what kind of mini websites are you talking about? Can you elaborate further please. Is it like a small site pointing to your bigger one? Highlighting a specific product or service?

I like the idea of email campaigns. But on the other hand I find them to be very spammy like. And I have a huge tendancy to not read them. And automatically hit that delete button.

I would have to say the subject better be reall catchy and worth while otherwise it goes in the trash before I would even read the email.

Not yet used an email campaign, but creating a completely new site for a campaign sounds like a lot of hard work. not tried optimizing specific pages on an existing site for the email campaign?

I do run a number of travel related mini sites and I do rather well with them. It works especially well if you have a keyword rich domain to go along with it.

Email campaigns are rough nowdays. Newletters are also starting to go stale. We have to think up something new.

[imported_Rohitpatel]

Well I do newletters for this but don't get good results from it. So I away from these types of campaigns.

We should pool together our knowledge and construct a concept that will wipe the Robert Allen method off the map if for no other reason than to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome from all that paging down.

I think email campaigns are too tricky these days.

Newsletters would be more effective if they are only sent when there is something noteworthy to talk about. So many are built simply to get another click to their credit, but offer no value outside of that.
