Does Adsense Consider Facebook Traffic Invalid ?

    Since Adsense has started showing invalid traffic in the transaction history I have noticed a pattern of "invalid activity" when I run Facebook promotions. The full story and some stats are my blog here: Adsense considers Facebook traffic invalid

    The short version is that 100% of the time I run Facebook promotions, invalid activity is detected and 100% of the time NOT running Facebook promotions 0 invalid activity is detected.

    I am curious if anyone else has noticed this either from Facebook ads or Adwords (or other ad networks) - or, maybe I just missed a new rule in the Adsense TOS?

    please leave a comment either here or over in the blog.

    I am sure, Adsense doesn't consider invalid when you get some % of traffic from Facebook. If you are 100% dependent on facebook and If you consider Facebook is main source of Traffic for your site, Then you may get suspended.

    I don't think so, my friend have been using Google adsense, most of the traffic are driven from Facebook, if that is true by now his account will be suspended ;)

    Please ask him to check his Transaction History and let us know how much traffic Adsense is reporting as invalid.
