Hi all DP members, i have 2 questions: 1. Is there anyone who is banned from google because of buying traffic? 2. What if i bought traffic for my competitor?
Don't understand your second question? But, back to your first question... I haven't heard of anyone getting band for buying traffic, but I heard of people getting band due to suspicious activity resulting from bought traffic. Also, Google states: 'Webmasters are prohibited from using services that may artificially inflate impressions' which buying traffic can be considered doing. Basically be careful of buying traffic, from what have heard it isn't very useful for AdSense anyway. And for your second question, what's that about? Why would you want to buy traffic for a competitor?
Lol, I don't know about that but read the program policies ( https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182 )
I've never been banned by google for anything.....But the truth is that the quality of clicks through to a website has a huge factor. Google is smart enough to know where your visitors came from. If your visitors all arrived via pop ups or pop unders, which is what most traffic selling scams provide, you'll be harshly penalized. I hate to sound so gloomy, but you need visitors who came legitimately.
Well, Google insists you should not join traffic scam sites like which put incentives to click on ads. Generally Pay-to-click and pay-to-view services should be avoided.
You can "buy" traffic from PPC advertising but you are not allow to use the PTC or traffic exchange to get the traffic
Buying traffic for competitor - it was only joke. (in my country people sometimes think: if i'am not successfull why others should be successfull)
