Is this against AdSense TOS or not?

    I'm a novice when it comes to AdSense so I'm not sure if parking a domain with AdSense on it and then sending traffic to it is against Google's policy or not.

    Could somebody shed some light on that?

    Thanks :)

    Parking a Domain with adsense is not against adsense... But redirecting or sending traffic to it is sure against the TOS :)

    Thanks.

    Yep, and it is also against the TOS of the domain parking service, you could get yourself in really hot water with that one. What I would do (takes only a few hours, depending on your experience:
    Set up a wordpress blog on the domain
    Write 10 original, valuable quality posts about your keyword, think of titles like
    What is keyword
    Where to find the best deal on keyword
    How to clean keyword
    ect
    Monetize with Adsense and send traffic to it.

    Rinse and repeat with next niche site, SY

    Yeah you're right...it's a good alternative...but I bet that the CTR would be much lower in this case because you have all these extra pages.

    Too bad that adsense parking + traffic is against TOS :)

    Thats is bad because, if it is parked, CTR would be some 80+ or even 95+ :)

    Got it??

    Thanks.

    Sending traffic to it would be against their TOS and is in a way bad but nobody can do anything about this .

    Wrong, both, Adsense and the parking service can terminate his account and Adsense can ban him for lifetime, a huge risk in my opinion! SY

    the CTR of parking is very high, because there are no any content but only ads

    Yes, you can expect a Google leg slap for that!

    So let's say you have a parked site and a popular youtube video with lots of views.
    In the description of your video you say something like "to see more videos like this one go to www. myparkedsite. com"
    (notice the link is not active so who ever is interested has to type it in)

    It's obvious that this is against TOS, but can it be detected?

    Google knows all. They could probably check your referrer.

    (so if you want to even attempt to get away with this, google "blank my referrer". But I wouldn't recommend it. Sometimes your referrer leaks..)

    I had a parked domain and my CTR was never good. I don't think that CTR of a parked domain would go very high. But as someone has suggested, create a blog, post some articles and monetize that.
