    Hi Readers,
    I am running a blog on computer security. I want to know can I use traffic exchange like clicksmatrix, cashclicking, webmasterquest, trafficpods, etc. for driving traffic to my blog having google adsense ads.
    My one friend is only using clicksmatrix getting 90% visitors from there and after some days he got mail from google. Mail is as follows :


    It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have
    been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of
    third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit
    your site. Such programs may include, but are not limited to auto-surf,
    pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.

    As a reminder, any method of generating invalid clicks or impressions
    is strictly prohibited by our Terms & Conditions and program policies:

    If we continue to detect invalid clicks or impressions from these
    services on your ads, we may disable your account to protect our
    advertisers.


    So all readers are requested to reply to this thread and help it out.

    Thanks a lot.

    I want to tell that me also an adsense publisher using traffic programs like clicksmatrix and others for the purpose of traffic since 2 months. But i haven't got any such mail till now from google.
    I think my friend get such mail because he was getting 90% traffic from clicksmatrix only and no other traffic source.
    Please reply.

    I used trafficswarm to get traffic on my blog for a couple of weeks. But i disabled it as soon as I came to kniow that its agauinst the TOS.

    However, I never got any email from google regarding it. In fact, now that Ive crossed the payment threshold Im worried that my account may be closed suddenly because of that.
