I don't think so but don't take people's word for it: read the damn TOS to find out!

PhilipSEO, thanks for the response. My thinking is that article marketing, getting back links from web2.0 sites for google adsense parked domains should not be a violation of any of google here quoted TOS/POLICY:

"invalid Clicks and Impressions"

Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to repeated manual clicks or impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software. Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited. Failure to comply with this policy may lead to your account being disabled."


"Site and Ad Behavior

Sites showing Google ads should be easy for users to navigate and should not contain excessive pop-ups.

* Publishers may not use online advertising to drive traffic to pages participating in AdSense for domains.
* Publishers may not deceptively drive traffic to pages participating in AdSense for domains.
* Sites participating in AdSense for domains may not be framed or displayed on other sites. "

Unfortunately only you can decide what is correct or not. Taking someone else's word for it will not help you if Google decides to take action. You could try asking Google of course.


Just curious though, why would you want to send traffic to a parked domain? Why not just put up a website and send traffic there?

Tony, i highly appreciate your response. The reason i am asking is that there is this particular internet marketing expert training i attended, where he demonstrated article marketing as one of the major ways of driving traffic to his google adsense parked domain names. So i want to be sure if it is safe to do this.

My read of Google's TOS is that this line:
* Publishers may not deceptively drive traffic to pages participating in AdSense for domains.

is what would be used against you. AdSense for Domains is intended principally for type-in traffic and they would likely consider generating new traffic to be a violation.

Follow the TOS and you will save. Acually, you can do that.
