What is Email Traffic?
Email traffic is visits and conversions from email sends: newsletter ads, dedicated mailings, solo ads, partner digest integrations. The user clicks a link in the message → landing or offer. Can be warm (thematic list subscribers) or rented lists (closer to cold).
Buying models
- CPM/CPC — banner or text block in a third-party newsletter.
- Solo ad — dedicated send from a list owner for your offer.
- CPA/CPL — pay per lead via partner integration.
Compliance
GDPR, CAN-SPAM, opt-in consent. Spam and purchased lists without consent risk domain reputation and offer bans. Advertisers often require proof of list quality.
Tracking
Unique UTM and click ids per send; postback to reconcile with partners. Open/click rates do not replace offer CR.
