    For getting inbounds from a banned domain - I highly doubt they can ban you. Do you arrest the hardware store owner who sells the axe to a murderer?

    While I agree with what you are implying, I hardly think this is a great analogy to use. But you are correct in saying Google will not have any reason to ban the account just bcause the site derives traffic from a banned site.

    Perhaps I've unintentionally chosen a bad analogy here. I'm from the UK and I haven't heard of any axe murders here in recent years - anyone care to share how I've put my foot in it?

    Well, we're getting a bit off-topic here, but: No, not axe-murders per se, but a murder is a murder so if you ignore the weapon, then...with the sniper killings by Malvo and Muhammad, the store where their weapon was bought AND the manufacturer of the arm were named as co-defendants and I believe both ended up paying some sum out-of-court.

    I dont think you should haev any problems as long as its just links and not a redirect, a redirect might seem shady.

    Yes, if the hardware store owner knew that the murderer is a murderer and he still sold him the axe anyway.

    The OP knows that the domain is banned and still bought traffic from it anyway. He no longer can plead ignorance. I don't know if he can be banned for it, but he's voluntarily associating himself with a banned site, knowing full well it was already banned. So can Adsense ban him for it? Who knows. That's the risk he'll take if he wants to play in that sandbox.

    you can not use adsense banned domains and automatic traffic programs as hit source for adsense

    I agree about the traffic programs, but links from a domain that was banned I don't get. Now maybe is all the traffic from the banned domain was redirected, then that may raise a flag, but links I don't think so. I like many people work on getting links all the time. Now its possible that some of these sites that now have my links on them have been banned from adsense, but that does not mean I'm banned.

    With the number of forum threads I see of people who have been banned, if Google then banned all the publishers who had links from those sites then Google Adsense would be out of business very soon and since Google derives most of their income from Adwords and Adsense so would Google.

    This does not make sense as something to worry about.

    I don't think they will harm you because simply you can't control inbound links ;)

    Proof ?

    they don't allow you to place links to any warez/porno sites in the pages serving Adsense ads but they don't mind if you get links from such sites to yours (confirmed with adsense-support e-mail) ;)

    That's all true, but keep in mind that he's BUYING traffic from these sources. They aren't just voluntarily linking to him. There is a difference.

    Google doesn't access our paychecks yet. They don't know for sure what a payed link is and what isn't. A link they suspect of being payed for is going to be weighed into their SEARCH algorithms less, but it is not going to affect your adsense account. That just would not make sense. They aren't the 'banned adsense publishers police'. They don't want that site in their adsense program for some reason, but since it still ranks well, their search engine still feels it's reliable.

    Google won't know if i bought an ad or someone liked my site and linked to it for free.

    Actually Google knows that we can't control where we get traffic from

    Dude, if Google wants to audit you, they will AUDIT YOUR TRAFFIC. That means tracking your referrers back to their source. That means looking at the source. That means banning your naive behind if they see you're buying traffic from places they don't approve of.

    But anyways, whatever. Keep believing that you're special in Google's eyes if it makes you feel better.

    How would google know you bought traffic from there instead of getting links cause they like your site?

    Completely off-topic reply here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the victims family tried suing the hardware store owner if the murderer is found to have no money. :D
