    Hi Guys,

    Any ADSense Publisher is displaying his/her website at work PC's to enhance traffic and therefore generate some earnings? If yes, is this one of ADSense TO's?

    Please advise!

    Thanks!
    Sam

    I think you need to clarify what you mean exactly. Are you suggesting showing sites at work and asking people to click ads etc? If so, it will be against the TOS.

    You mean that you show your site to co workers to get traffic ?!
    There are safer methods to market your site (CPC programs, web directories, seo...)

    That is correct! I display my websites at each PC station at work so that 100's of my Colleagues view my websites everyday, something that increases my daily traffic.

    Is this ok with ADSense policies?

    I think it's risky, better stay away from that, specially if your colleagues are not interested

    Repetitive clicks from the same ips will be noticed, I'm pretty sure.

    Seems like a strange thing to be doing, to be honest. It may show up as extra impressions, but the quality of that traffic is just going to drive you at best to smart pricing, at worst to be banned.

    I'd avoid doing what you are doing immediately.

    This is what you really have to worry about. Telling all your coworkers about your site or displaying in in your companies intranet bulletin board is not against the TOS. The problem is that most clicks are probably going to be recorded coming from the same IP address or IPs very close. This will get you banned quickly even though you did not break TOS and the big G will not even give you a chance to explain.

    Another thing to consider is your company's policies. Moonlighting for outside income, especially using any of their time or resources could get you fired.
