So I just got the Google come back $$100 credit.

Is it a violation of my adsense TOS to use those credits to point to my adsense sites?

seems like a good way to put some easy cash in my pocket.

  • No it is not a violation, but better get some very good content in there, no direct affiliate links, all the standard pages (Contact us, Privacy notice, TOS, Disclaimers, and etc), or you will get the site hit with low quality scores in minutes.

    Also, for this, do not go for high volume keywords. Put in a little work and get longer tail targeted keywords ... again so you do not get the low quality score slap in minutes.

    Oh ... the best way to do this is create some banners and advertise ONLY on the content network. Clicks are a ton cheaper, you get a lot more broad coverage, and you can pretty much get a quality score free ride. In the right niche, you should get 2,000 clicks at $.05 a piece.

  • I just use Adwords, and set the network setting like this :


    You will then just show on sites in their content network in which Google cannot accurate determine your quality score and you can get away with a lot more, broader keywords, cheaper clicks and etc.

    Granted the traffic is not near as good as the search networks, but if you are going to use $100 vouchers, it is good enough to profit each time.

      I might be wrong, but it depends on the site.

      I've used numerous adwords vouchers to point to my site WITH adsense on it, given this was a fully developed site.

      You can't expect Google to ban people form using adwords on every site that had adsense on it.

      Now, if you point it to a 3 page MNS, that is obviously an adsense site, then that might give you problems.

      I did point an adwords campaign to a site with popunder ads, and got a "malware" warning. I deleted the popunder campaign and got another e-mail saying everything was back to normal.

    You are attempting arbitrage. It is a very old strategy and it is frowned upon by Google and will in all likelihood get you banned from AdSense if your site is not much more than and MFA site.
