Against AdSense TOS or not

I made one website a few months ago and now it gets about 10-15k visitors per week. At weekends it gets about 10000 visitors. I'm not sure but is it against google adsense rules to drive traffic via banner/text link to my another site which contains adsense ads? Maybe not. I can't monetize that website number 1 with adsense... The problem is that almost all that traffic to that adsense website would come from gambling related site...

    Forget about AdSense if you can't drive traffic from search engines. Secondly, read TOS of AdSense and if you already now that referred traffic is not acceptable on AdSense sites, then why are you asking this question here? What is difference, either your OWN site refers the traffic or another gambling sites?

      I hope that's a joke.

      Half the Adsense money I earn online comes from non-SERP traffic, been doing it for years.

    OP you already know Adsense TOS doesn't like gambling sites, I'm sure that goes for anything related to gambling.

    What is it you have to offer the gambling traffic when they land on your non-gambling Adsense site/pages?

    I wouldn't do this... low quality traffic could result in an AdSense warning, or perhaps even a ban.

    Also gambling traffic is suspect, especially if it's from the USA or somewhere.

      Thanks for your answers. I have shows adsense ads tens of my sites since 2005 so I will not take a risk.

      However, the problem is how to monetize this untargeted traffic? Is the best way to start collect people's emails or something...

      Maybe I can build some other new "high traffic" websites but the problem is untargeted traffic. Maybe I have to try ads like surveys, loans, travel, health, gambling... I don't know.

        Lol, loans to gambling traffic?

        I know someone here on WF that was thinking about creating a paid gambling product, IF your interested & most of the traffic is from the US, PM me. I would have to check that they finished the gambling product & they're interested.

          No, all that traffic is from Finland. I already advertise the one gambling service on this website. I trust them, they have paid to me earlier.

          Why not loans? Payday loans are the huge business...
