I checked my inbox this morning and I noticed this under the Promotions tab. Native ads in the form of emails in Gmail.

Good or bad? What do you think?
- Gaurav322 13y agoNow Google Adwords starts one more way of PPC marketing. It is great for advertisers and bad for users. Now, Google works for profit only, not for user convenience...
- chrisBob 13y agoGuess who google's paying customer is? Hint: its not you. If you want a better email service then pay for it.

- MildlySerious 13y agoIsn't that exactly why we moved away from other freemail services, back in the days?
- dangrossman 13y agoThis ad format was there from the start of the promotions tab; it's not new. Here's an article about them from June: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/06/ads-in-gmails-promotions-tab.html http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/06/ads-in-gmails-promo...
- Gustomaximus 13y agoThis is part of the ongoing downfall of Google. They held it together for so long but we seem to have reached the tipping point where monetisation is replacing user experience. My verdict: This is bad and too intrusive.
