Adsense and Facebook Traffic?

It's been years since the last time I used Adsense but this week, I decided to do it again. I read somewhere in several websites that Adsense don't like direct traffic from facebook to pages displaying Adsense ads. I am not really sure if it's true so I made mine a little different.

I created a separate landing page in html with a very big heading "Click Here To Continue to mysitecom)

Below the title there is a 2 paragraph texts describing Amazon products posted right below the text. At the bottom part of the page, there is a code from Adlandpro that allows me to earn extra $5 per thousand impressions. There is no Adsense ads on this landing page.

I know 5 high-traffic websites with similar niche to my site and they are allowing links on Facebook comments. I spent around 30 minutes commenting on those sites with the link to my landing page. The result, within 18 hours, my landing pave received 1200 hits and 95% of these traffic are also visiting my main site by clicking the title. My main site has Adsense ads but the the traffic landing to my page that has Adsense ads are not directly from Facebook but from my landing page.

What do you think about this? I am getting thousands of free but related traffic from those 5 websites so I think I will continue doing this if this could not put my account into danger.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

      Hi!

      As for my experience, I have not much luck with Facebook too when it comes to driving traffic maybe because I got the wrong audience? I have lots of traffic coming from Twitter.Musing with Joyce

    The reason adsense doesn't like social media traffic is because people coming from social sites like Facebook don't convert well for advertisers. Advertisers have told Google they don't like that type of traffic so that's why Google doesn't.

    But your setup looks solid. Send FB traffic to a landing page first, then on to an adsense site.

    What might trigger an AdSense manual review is if your adsense CTR is like .25 or something really low like that. A normal AdSense CTR is 2%-6%. So if AdSense does a manual review will they find a quality AdSense site? If so, you should be fine.

    An adsense manual reviewer will also check to see where your traffic is coming from. They will think it's coming from your landing page. So you shouldn't get banned for that.

    But again, if your adsense site is a low quality site you might get banned for that.

      I stopped doing it after my site got a good SEO visibility. My CTR now is 2.5% to 4.5% with 75% organic traffic.
