SUMMARY
The discussion centers on integrating iContact's signup form into a personal website's News section. Users confirmed that it is permissible to include a link to a personal website (PWS) in emails sent through iContact or Constant Contact, as long as the link is not placed in a searchable section of the website.

I use Constant Contact, which is very similar to iContact. You can include a link to your PWS in notes that you send through either of those services, because they're emails, and they're opt-in (you enter your customer information, as opposed to sending them to purchased lists). What you cannot do is use their archive or web page version, as those are searchable and would then have your PWS link on the internet.

Yes, but apparently they have a tool that would allow people who visit my page (say someone was referred by a friend) to also sign up for my newsletter...that's what I was wondering about...the only place I can think of to put it would be under the news section, but didn't know if it was possible and allowed.
