I have seen some posts from other people telling they earn money via Adsense using Google Adwords to drive traffic to they blog/website ! Is it true ? Does Google Adsense Policy allow it ? Thx Stéphane
as far as i know its allowed, but itll be damned hard to make money that way.. You have to pay something like 50 dollars for 1000 hits.. how are you going to MAKE that much? if you make that much from 1000 hits, your account will be terminated for fraud.
It's perfectly fine. I actually e-mailed them about this to confirm it so I could bring it up in future if I ever decide to experiment and they ban me. CosmosCR: 1,000 clicks from AdWords at 0.05 - Costs $50. Assuming CTR of 20% on your AdSense page with clicks averaging $1.00, then that's: 200 clicks and $200 made.... $150 profit. Pete
"Paid for traffic services" which violates ToS does not include legitimate advertising models such as Adwords, Overture, or Adcenter and the such. How do you think that a website that is launched gets noticed? Advertising. It is those BS scumbag services that promise to "to send as many unique hits to your server as it can handle" that are the violators and should never ever be used.
both a 20% CTR, and 1 dollar average are absurd estimates. You wont get hits from adwords on terms that pay $1.00 if youre only paying .05 for your ads.
No they're not. Hard to find, but they're certainly not absurb estimates. I have 1 section on my site which receives a similar CTR and $1.00 clicks. Now that depends on how large a key phrases list you build with related terms. It's entirely possible. Pete
