    I am going to be purchasing traffic for some of my sites soon, and just wondering what traffic g adsense considers bad traffic?

    I obviously don't want to get my account banned.... so post any opinions you have!

    Thanks.

    Traffic coming from pop-ups is bad bad bad. Be careful when purchasing traffic or setting up ad campaigns with third parties. Before contracting with any ad network, you should ensure that they will never display your site in pop-ups.

    Bad traffic in adsense point of view is traffic from tech savvy users like digg, reddit and stumble upon. Advanced users are adblind.Never buy traffic. Build traffic through search engines with good content.

    pop-up, auto-surf, proxy site, ppc surfers are really bad for adsense. They even warned me when i purchased traffic from a DP seller. :(
    sad, but its true.

    Now that is hilarious. Seriously.

    BAD traffic means traffic that AdSense doesn't want you to have, not traffic that doesn't get you clicks.

    Google allows you to use adsense on proxy site but only on main page. I get good money from my proxy site and it is not really bad traffic at all ;)

    I don't care if it gets banned from the network but it won't get banned from adsense if you follow the rules and depending on my experiences, no site is this much easy to run and maintain. Also if it gets banned from the network, it should be making real good money.. You can redirect the domain to a new one after that and go on :D

    Purchasing traffic is a rip. IMO.

    Get FREE traffic from SEO etc.

    Or should it be that,
    as long as it's targeted traffic, then it's ok.

    Avoid using any of theose dodgy traffic schemes. Google will almost certainly ban your account if some of them result in clicks.

    i totally agree traffic from social bookmarking sites never gives good conversion on adsense. :)

    fanaddict,
    the best thing to best thing you should do is to buy link to a website with good traffic, adwords or adbrite.

    I´ve once had a domain with lots of type in traffic from Taiwan, that was pretty much the most worthless traffic I have ever had.
