Okay, I've had a site for over a year, it doesn't generate much traffic, mainly just spiders right now, but I pushed tons of traffic to it for a few days and didn't receive a single click on my adsense.... I believe this was because my site had been hacked into before that and they were somehow absorbing my clicks. But I need to know how to make sure, cause I really don't want to drive traffic just to find out NOTHING happens. I tried to contact google but can't find a number. Thanks guys, Ubatr p.s. any easy cheap/free ways to get traffic?
Driving tons of traffic means what? Your account will be banned because of poor quality traffic. Read the adsense's tos about traffic first, otherwise you'll lose your adsense account and it is a gold mine if used correctly.
Thanks again for the response,James. The traffic came from a place called traffic something ...a cpv type service. I wasn't happy with their service, but I don't know if it was quality traffic or not...they of course said it was
Ubatr, Firstly, the fact that you are buying CPV traffic simply makes me question your motivation to get this sort of traffic, you know... the sort that will get you banned. Secondly, you could drive 100,000 visitors to your site and there is no guarantee that you are going to get clicks on your ads, i mean i personally have now learnt to be able to ignore ads on pages so must have clicked once in the last 5 years.
Buying traffic is a waste of money. It will only result in increasing your hit counter and a 100% bounce rate. The traffic converting to sales and/or ad clicks will also be non-existent. If you want traffic, you should work on your SEO or pay for Adsense safe/approved PPC.
- -, you are telling us you cheating on Google Adsense by using third party service and you want to know how to get more traffic? My suggestion is read the Google Adsense Policies again and stop the "cpv something" imediately, then focus on website's contents building and try to learn some easy SEO strategies.
Do not use such services. Try for the organic traffic. Use white hat SEO methods and get good traffic. If you happen to use black hat methods, then your adsense account will be banned.
No no. I'm not trying to cheat on google adsense. I was driving traffic for my blog. Appreciate the response and I'll focus on working on seo.
One more thing. I think I asked the wrong question. I know it's possible to get banned on adsense, but is it possible to be banned/locked and adsense not tell me? Meaning I could look at my cpanel and it looks just fine, they record the page views and everything but they aren't accepting clicks. Cause when the site got hacked into they threw up alot of malicious code which I don'tknow what it did, but inside the html and php pages there were tons of links to sites which I think were probably being popped up when my site was viewed, whatever the code did it caused my site to be on the Microsoft warning or attack site. As soon as I removed the visible code I contacted microsoft to basically appeal their decission.
