    I think it is ok to use PTC sites for directing traffic to adsense... however, the use of traffic exchanges and such are prohibited in the adsense TOS. But ultimately, Google can change their mind on a whim.

    I think adsense don't like such traffic. Anyway, to be on the safe end, I suggest you first contact adsense support before buying such traffic

    Folks, I suggest you read the Policies, Paid to Click is NOT okay.

    For those who've never seen them before, and I suspect that applies to many, here is a relevant portion:

    No puting your site into a PTC site is not good. (any sites like adbux.org, bux.to) Are not allowed.

    i have heard they banned a girl who advertises her site on a big billboard, since all her traffic came from direct input to the address bar. adsense is strange

    I dont know why are you thinking about bying that kind of traffic. Its very low quality... Users click but get out as soon as the timer stops.

    basically i think Ptc is just like a gaming too. you buy 1000 traffic and hopefully 5% could turn into real customers.
